CBS's Vaughn Ververs
discusses the protest campaign against PBS's
Breaking the Silence: Children's
Stories and PBS ombudsman Michael Getler's
reaction to it in a December 5 piece. Ververs
notes that the newly-appointed Getler started
his job early because of the crisis created by
the protests. Ververs cited Getler's view that
the film is "flawed" and "come[s] across as a
one-sided, advocacy program.”
Both Getler and the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting's ombudsman Ken A. Bode had been
critical of Breaking the
Silence. To learn more, click
