John: Yes, by excluding this documentary they’re promoting the radical Islamists that they love, and yes, this doesn’t make any sense at any level.
But I agree with John that PBS is exercising editorial rights, and is no more or less doing censorship of their site than Roger is of his own site. Roger chooses to promote some movies and to ignore other ones, and that is his right. The problem is that PBS receives public funding, which raises the question of what public responsibilities PBS has. A similar problem arises for government funded art.
