Fox News Channel
will air the CPB-funded doc Islam vs. Islamists on Saturday (9 p.m. Eastern time), with wraparound material in PBS style, Fox announced today. In the wraparound, Fox will interview the program's producers about their conflicts with PBS, which refused to distribute the film without further revision. Think-tank pundit and co-producer Frank Gaffney says PBS wanted "to bring more of an Islamist flavor" to his film. Exec producers of CPB's
Crossroads series at WETA said the film's warnings about Islamist influence were
alarmist and unsupported, and omitted it from the initial series aired by PBS in April. The
DVD is selling for just under $25, including shipping.
