What does publicly funded, “liberally biased” PBS do when a documentary about Muslims doesn’t fit the current narrative?
Why, they ban it, of course:
PBS has blocked the broadcast of Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center. This new documentary — funded with a $675,000 Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) grant — contrasts the ubiquitous [...]
