Three years ago, the PBS Ombudsman, Michael Getler wrote about Architects & Engineers For 911 Truth's "Blueprint for Truth':
"on a personal level I find the idea embedded in 'Blueprint' of a government conspiracy to blow up those buildings to be preposterous and simply beyond belief and I fault the station for promoting this as part of a pledge drive and presenting it without an accompanying on-the-air program in which critics have their say."
Now, after "Experts Speak Out"'s screening on Colorado Public Television gained it the #1 spot in shared videos for a while, Mr Getler has said:
"My layman's views, for what they are worth, have never changed."
"I have no problem with CPT12 or any station running controversial, against-the-grain programming. That's okay and often a good thing. But I do have sympathy with viewers who believe they were misled by PBS, who believe that what they watch on a PBS station, or video they click on from PBS.org, carries with it the legitimacy conveyed by the PBS label. Some better way needs to be found to make it clear when that is not the case.
"Here's a sampling of the letters."
He goes on to quote the few skeptical letters received from viewers that were "overwhelmed" by the supportive letters.
