Federally funded PBS affiliates are airing a pro-China documentary produced in conjunction with an outlet controlled by the Chinese Communist government, according to a new report.
The Daily Caller reported Friday that PBS affiliates are airing “Voices from the Frontline: China’s War on Poverty” without disclosing CGTN’s ties to Beijing and that its producer has links to Chinese officials and the government.
According to the Caller, PBS SoCal helped produce the movie, which praises Chinese President Xi Jinping’s anti-poverty initiatives and premiered this week. Other affiliates will air it in the coming days.
“In the last forty years, China’s economic development has lifted more than 700 people out of poverty,” the intro of the movie reportedly says.
“To President Xi Jinping, ending poverty is his most important task,” the script states.
It’s a report likely to fuel Republican calls for PBS to be defunded -- something that President Trump and many conservatives have backed over a perceived liberal bias.

Wow, 700 people!!
PBS and NPR are anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-American. It is past time Republicans act to defund or re-direct.
Cut off their funding.
You shouldn’t be airing enemy propaganda. What would hve happened to a network that aired Nazi propaganda in World War II?
Another reason to not have cable!
Oh, but wait! Weren’t the federal funds for the NEA disposed of? Or were they, Nancy Pelosi?
