1. PBS Revelation: Network's 'Wall Of Separation' Has Religious Right Genesis

On the subject of PBS, it has a website dedicated to the promotion of the claims that Einstein's first wife Mileva Maric co-authored his epoch-making 1905 papers:

The "Einstein's Wife" documentary being promoted by PBS has been described by John Stachel, founding editor of the Albert Einstein Collected Papers project, as a "whole series of entangled falsehoods," and the historian of physics Gerald Holton wrote that "if such a false product were published by a scientist, he or she would be deprived of eligibility of further funding."

Nevertheless PBS continues to maintain its grossly misleading "Einstein's Wife" website, and its equally misleading Lesson Plans for school students, despite their being riddled with errors and misconceptions, and despite its own Ombudsman's view that the website should be shut down pending a scholarly assessment:
