Discovery Channel Accused of Political Censorship for Dropping Oscar-Nominated Doc on U.S. Torture
Days after its Academy Award nomination, the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side was dropped by the Discovery Channel over concerns it was “controversial.” The film investigates some of the most egregious abuses associated with the so-called “war on terror,” including the US torture of prisoners. We get reaction from filmmaker Alex Gibney.

You are anti-American.

2. Um is anyone surprised.
This is the channel that produces the pro-US "Military Channel" and "American Chopper" after all. They wont do anything that will rock the boat too much. Especially if it puts to much of a harsh light on america.
