CBS Discovers Bias and Conflict of Interest at PBS...But It's About Ben Affleck

[See NewsBusters for more.] All three networks on Sunday and Monday blasted biased reporting and conflict of interest at PBS. However, the subject matter wasn't the taxpayer-supported outlet's liberal tilt. It was related to Ben Affleck and his appearance on Finding Your Roots. Apparently, PBS colluded with the movie star to cover up the fact that Affleck's ancestor owned slaves. Good Morning America's Amy Robach trumpeted, "Well, Ben Affleck is getting some unwanted attention this morning. There's word the actor tried to bury his roots, hiding part of his family's past that he's not very proud of." CBS reporter Carter Evans explained, "But according to private Sony e-mails published last week by Wikileaks,  he apparently did not want the show to reveal that one of his ancestors owned slaves and asked PBS to withhold that information."
