PBS American Experience Disappointing

Last night PBS aired American Experience: Roads to MemphisIt was a white wash no pun intended. The only good parts of course was MLK speaking and his close associates, which unfortunately was blended with people like Posner and others reinforcing the James Earl Ray fiction, and literally making up stuff out on the spot without any evidence.I love history, and PBS for me is a God send, but this was a real shill piece. Even Dan Rather was on it speaking from some sort of moral high ground, which I didn't know he was allowed on.http://video.aol.com/video-detail/ameri ... 3111662427

Kirk, I'm with you about PBS, and the stuff they usually have on the air. But like all media outlets, they are prone to air some disinformation, even if it's rare for them.

I didn't get to see the PBS documentary. But one thing for sure, if it has Dan Rather in it, it's bound to be bad.

Unfortunately very true KenDan Rather is a real disappointment. He seems to have been fated to be at the apex of history, just so he could confuse everybody.
