Kudos for going after them. It makes me wonder how much fact checking they do on anything.

There is no doubt whatsoever that a great deal of what they publish varies from mildly to grossly inaccurate. I've pointed to other claims on their Paine video that are absolute rubbish. I HOPE they will follow up ... that's all I can say about it at the moment. Their shallow treatment goes into a great deal of their historical documentaries broadcast on the PBS cable channel. I will stipulate that their documentaries -- whether scientific at which they do better or history at which they always seem to take the most trivial view -- are generally superior to their news and social commentary that I would rate mostly rubbish. FRONTLINE with very few exceptions simply carries the State Department, CIA, Russophobe, and pro-war stance fed to them by the former and enforced by their corporate handlers. It's sad. Public television isn't public in any sense of the word. Even the advertisements -- now on behalf of their corporate overlords -- go on as long as the old commericial TV ads USED to.

Thanks for your comment, Constance.
