Fitna: Broadcast networks turn tail and scurry away.


Again, Klein Verzet provides insight into the latest on the controlled demolition of the Dutch government and media in the face of Moslem threats, intimidation and agitation. The Netherlands are the Christian canaries in the Dhimmi coal mine and it's not looking good there, my friends.

The Islam critical film Fitna is one of the most talked about issues in the Netherlands. Many Dutch people have become very curious and want to see the film. But Dutch Newspaper De Volkskrant now reports that the Islam critical film of Geert Wilders will not be broadcasted on Dutch television. Neither the government funded public broadcasters nor any of the tightly regulated commercial stations want to air it. Although government funded anti Fitna films already where broadcasted before. It is said that Wilders now plans to launch his short film on the internet during a press conference later this month. Thanks to the internet, the government can not totally stifle the freedom of expression.

(Anybody want to take the over/under on how long it will be up on the Internet before it gets yanked?)

Head over to Klein Verzet and peruse the comments. There's additional info to be had on the reasons given for the networks to walk away from the film. Something to do with editing and the question of whether or not they could get a preview without first promising to air the film. KV seems to think it's was just a convenient dodge for them. Commenter Mark agrees - citing the chickenshi& way the US MSM reacted when it came to the Motoons. They both have a good point.
