Angry PBS duped into selling Discovery Institute ID propaganda

Follow this link to see what's for sale at the PBS on-line store. Yep -- it's a Discovery Institute video that somehow found its way into PBS's "educational" video/dvd lineup. Go to www.discovery.org/csrc and you'll see the video for sale there as well.

It gets worse...

PBS to Air Unlocking the Mystery of Life is a Discovery Institute press release crowing that two PBS affliates will air it in the near future. In Oklahoma OETA will air it on Tuesday, May 13. One of the Texas PBS stations will air it next month.

It's interesting to note that the top of the press-release reads, "Illustra Media & Discovery Institute press release".

All the more interesting because "Unlocking the Mystery..." is co-published by Focus on the Family, according to http://www.family.org/resources/itempg.cfm?itemid=3042

Why doesn't the Discovery Insitute want to give Focus on the Family due credit for its work on this video???
