It isn't free speech when tax payer money is paying the bill.If it was a private owned station it would be free speech but as a government subsidized station it shouldn't endorse any faith.If the facts of islam aren't acceptable to pbs then they shouldn't do the story.I don't have a problem with pbs doing any religious story based on the facts as we know them.
