PBS' The Choice 2008-- I tried to watch this without many interruptions. I saw about 5 to 10 minutes of coverage of McCain's Keating 5 scandal from the 80s. However, I missed any mention of the Ayers thing, just the Jeremiah Wright controversy.

Tell me, did PBS overlook this? If so, is there a good reason?

They didn't consider the Jeremiah Wright issue nonsense.

Check the PBS website schedule they may have a replay listed on this show.

Would it be they are funded by Foundations which have been co-opted by liberals?

Default Obama and Ayres

I would think that this program was most likely produced BEFORE the SLANDER about Ayres hit the waves.
I found the program to be very well balanced and mostly positive in its view of EACH candidate which would belie BuffaloTransplant's suggestion that it's content was affected by the liberal agenda.

Ayers is a hero to many and it had no legs.
