The biased and propagandistic PBS documentary "Breaking the Silence:
Children's Stories" is now being re-broadcast in the USA despite the
huge controversy surrounding its original airing in 2005. What the hell
are those PBS people thinking, anyway? I guess they haven't learned yet
that the men's movement, like an elephant, never forgets!
The following is an e-mail which I sent to PBS affiliate stations in my part
of the USA. Use it as a template if you wish, and tweak it as you deem
best.

TO (Local PBS Affiliate):
This concerns the PBS documentary "Breaking the Silence - Children's
Stories", which is now being re-broadcast by various PBS affiliate
stations.
Extreme controversy was generated when this program was first aired in
late 2005, owing to the biased and propagandistic nature of its content.
See the following for an overview, with links to further information.

At the time of the original broadcast, the PBS own ombudsman
determined that "Breaking the Silence" was in violation of PBS's own
code of ethics. And yet, PBS is bold enough to release the show again --
as if they are suffering from memory loss, or as if they believe that the
public is.
Furthermore, at the time of the original broadcast PBS promised to
produce a follow-up documentary that would offer a more fair and
balanced picture. So far, this has not been forthcoming, and what PBS
has done instead only adds insult to injury. And it adds more injury also.
I don't know if your station has re-broadcast "Breaking the Silence", or
intends to do so. However, I would urge you not to do so -- and I know
that many thousands of people would second my voice here.
If you HAVE re-broadcast BTS, then I would take you very severely to
task for it, and would advise you to consider the probable damage to
your funding base that such action would incur.
Thank you.
