On Oct. 12, 2004, PBS did a two hour show on Bush/Kerry. Appeard very biased to me. How can they do this, yet there is such a howl about Sinclair TV presenting Stolen Honor?

I was beginning to wonder if I were the only one that noticed this; I'm grateful for your post!

I would encourage everyone that found PBS's FRONTLINE: The Choice 2004 biased to let PBS know.

When I emailed my concern to PBS ( Along with a request that they even it up by showing Stolen Honor, ) this is the response I received:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Maryland Public Television.

Thank you for taking the time to send us your comments about "Frontline: The Choice 2004". We’re dismayed to learn that you were so displeased with the content within “Frontline: The Choice 2004.” I spoke with the program director first thing this morning and he called the main PBS office, we were told that the White House, primarily Laura Bush contributed to and approved of the content within the 2nd hour of the program (the hour that was the biography of President Bush).

We’ve been encouraged by PBS to have viewers that were displeased with the program contact the Frontline producers or contact WGBH to voice their complaints.

If you'd like to send an e-mail to the producers of Frontline: The Choice 2004" you can do so from this link: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/contact/
