"A Hidden Life", which airs tonight on PBS, is critical of the Spokesman-Review's investigation of
Jim West, the late Spokane mayor. Editor
Steven A. Smith writes on his blog: "Frontline producers explained to us -- and apparently to others in the community -- that their original intent to use Spokane and West as a jumping off point to discuss gay issues in America was derailed at the last minute by PBS honchos who wanted to focus only on the West scandal and recall. This is, at least, disingenuous."
