    Pretty misleading. This isn’t “PBS,” it’s one member station doing it to their local content.

    PBS gives their members freedom. Can’t help it if some are conservatives or panicking over loss of local funding from their local conservative govt

      As the Trump administration intensifies its attacks, PBS has bent the knee in another way to dampen potential blowback by removing a scene in an Art Spiegelman documentary in which the graphic novelist Spiegelman discusses an anti-Trump cartoon. PBS also pulled a gaming documentary with trans themes, only to relist it after The Atlantic asked about its deletion.

      Sounds like it’s not just the local station engaging in shenanigans.
