PBS recently deemed the documentary, "Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center" unacceptable for broadcasting because they find it to be "incomplete" and does not meet "editorial standards." The documentary is part of a $20 million series funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that examines problems facing the nation following the September 11 attacks. After spending $675,000 on the show and receiving a letter from eight members of Congress, CPB will not be letting the show be shelved despite PBS' concerns, and has decided to take matters into their own hands. CPB will be releasing "Islam vs. Islamists" to Oregon Public Broadcasting for distribution to other public stations.

The net neutrality debate has quieted down a bit since Congress left town. That's why this is the perfect moment to take a step back from the the breathless arguments and dizzying ads, and gain a fuller understanding of what's at stake.

You can do just that by tuning into "Moyers on America" on PBS tonight to watch the "The Net at Risk." (Check your local listings for air times.)

If any of you are fans of Bill Moyers, you should definitely tune into PBS tonight at 9:00 pm for his new Moyers on America special, "Capitol Crimes."

"It's a dizzying scope of perfidy and politics that boggles the imagination, and although Jack Abramoff and Tom DeLay have been brought down, the system remains as vulnerable as ever," says Bill Moyers. "The scale of corruption still coming to light dwarfs anything since Watergate. In one sense it's the age-old tale of greed, but greed encouraged now by the way our system works. Deep in the plea agreements of Jack Abramoff and his cronies is the admission that they conspired to use campaign contributions to bribe politicians; campaign finance is at the core of the corruption. They took great pains to cover their tracks, and they might have pulled it off except for a handful of honest people, and the work of some enterprising print reporters, Senate investigators, and the ethics team at the department of justice. Following the money in this story leads through a bizarre maze of cocktail parties, golf courses, private jets, four-star restaurants, sweatshops - and the aura of chandeliered rooms frequented by the high and mighty of Washington."

Granny D - Doris Haddock - is a grandmother from New Hampshire who felt so passionately about the need for campaign finance reform and citizens having their voices heard in the political process that she walked 3,200 miles in support of campaign finance reform in 1999.

Granny D is now 96 years old and her trek from Pasadena, Calif., to Washington DC in 1999 is the subject of a 30-minute documentary that chronicles her extraordinary journey and will air on PBS stations in October.

Here is the list of stations and times when the program will air:

Last week, a House subcommittee voted along party lines to eliminate nearly one-quarter of public broadcasting's budget for next year. The cuts would completely eliminate public broadcasting's "Ready to Learn" program,  which produces beloved shows like Sesame Street, Clifford the Big Red Dog and Reading Rainbow that have educated and entertained generations of children.

In an age of consolidated, profit-driven media, public broadcasting remains one of the few outlets where you can find independent news and public affairs programming, as well as quality educational programming for children. In poll after poll, the American people have said that public broadcasting is a good investment of their public tax dollars.

The House Appropriations Committee can and should reverse course, and vote to restore full funding to public broadcasting. Lend your support to that cause today.  Tell us what you value about public broadcasting in the Comments section below.
