CPB (PBS) Ombudsman Issues Statement on "Breaking the Silence"

Thanks to Mark R. for the word on this report, featured on the web site http://www.breakingthescience.org/.

The final paragraph of the CPB ombudsman's statement reads as follows:

PBS says it has received around 4,000 letters, calls and e-mails about Breaking the Silence. The National Organization for Women issued an action alert calling for mail supporting the program. Glenn Sacks used his radio show to promote mailings objecting to the broadcast. Jan McNamara the director of corporate communication at PBS says the program is now under official review. That's good. Along with the motives of its sponsor (The Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation), Breaking the Silence needs to be reviewed for accuracy, fairness and balance.

This is a big win! Thanks to Glenn Sacks and RADAR for their efforts to make these folks admit, finally, that they got it wrong. This also proves that public pressure to get to the actual truth in the face of lies and distortions can and does work. Inspirational stuff!
