When people complain of too many Jews in media - it's because of stealth Jewish ownership. Ethnic politics keeps movies like Taxi to the Dark Side - out of the public eye.
Crimes against Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians and Iraqis are what caused 9/11 - and guess who committed those crimes? And our government is also infiltrated and controlled by these same Jews with loyalties to Israel over the USA.
History tells us that Jews have been expelled and mistreated throughout history - what history books delete are the REASONS people expelled Jews from their societies. And guess who changed those textbooks?
We are at war with Islam and Muslims all over the world because of the influence exerted over our government and media by Jews - treasonous Jews who work for Israel and against American interests.

David Zaslav? Let me guess.
He's one of those nasty Muslim people, right?
The ones that hate our freedums?

Since the executives at Discover have neither the courage nor sense of civic duty to show Taxi to the Dark Side, how about seeing that it gets in the hand of a channel that does? Sometime before the next election might ne nice.

Just two things, first TLC IS HORRIBLE!! I, remember when TLC used to be interesting, with a diverse and stimulating selection of documentaries i.e. "7 WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD",and "GREAT BOOKS". NOW most of your programs have to do with HAVING A BABY, BRINGING UP A BABY, GETTING MARRIED, OR THE LIFE AT A TATTOO SHOP. If I wanted to watch that, I, would have watched the "WE" channel, or "LIFETIME". BORING! I, also HATE your "NEW" Discovery ID. If I wanted to watch that, I, would have the old "COURT TV" channel.

It is so disappointng that you reversed your decision to broadcast "Taxi to the Dark Side" The film needs and deserves to be shown widely. America needs and deserves disclosure and information. How else can we make sound public policy. You have done your country no favors. Viva PBS

If you're not going to show it then sell it to someone who will...some network that doesn't bow to the political pressure and withhold critical info that this country needs to see in order to regain it's reputation. Is this network about "Discovery" or cover-up and profit? What a disappointment - No more Discovery for me!

Why buy the rights if you didn't like the content? Don't tell me you spent all that money BEFORE you watched the film! Either your people were incompetent, or you deliberately bought it up to prevent it from being broadcast in the first place. Neither option makes your company look very good. Now you have a black eye, and the internet will do your job for you. Trust me. Where there's a will, the movie will be shown.

The decision of the executives of Discovery Communications Inc. to buy the rights to the Oscar nominated and critically acclaimed film 'Taxi to the Dark Side' and then deep-six it is, at the least, yet another glowing example of both corporate cravenness and gross mismanagement. Tomorrow, I'm selling all mutual funds I own which hold Discovery Communication Inc. stocks and bonds.

Your decision to not air the movie "Taxi To The Dark Side" is very disappointing. Since you are not going to air the movie, please release your rights so that some other, braver, channel can air it.

Isn't it amazing that the free air waves produce so much chewing gum for the mind, while we virtually must pay beyond our monthly cable bills for what more likely be the truth about issues affecting our country and the world around us ("Roger and Me," "Sicko" et al come to mind). Cable stations offer so little of value OR entertainment for way too much (our bills up $3+ to $54 in 2/08 for basicly trash and constant reruns of the same movies)...and they virtually get access to such profits free (little cost). REAL American patriots need to scrounge (like looking through trash) to find the truth, thanks to the Busheviks and their likes...

I have greatly enjoyed the programming at Discovery channel over the years. It has, for the most part been educational and entertaining and I appreciate the rational, scientific approach this programming has made to the subjects it airs. In short, it has been one of my favorite "reality-based" TV destinations. And so, it is difficult for me to communicate my disappointment upon hearing that Discovery has elected not to air a movie it has purchased, and apparently for political reasons (I have at least not read any clear, non-political argument given forth for the decision to withhold this film from the viewing public). Insofar as the full and true story of the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq will at some time, hopefully sooner than later, be revealed in it's entirety I am saddened that this channel which I have enjoyed so much in the past has elected to place itself on the side of those who would wrongfully seek to cover, lie and obfuscate rather than reveal and document. Democracies do not continue for long in an atmosphere of secrecy and treachery. I will not be watching this channel in the future and will have it removed from my subscription package if possible.

Refusing to air the documentary "Taxi to the dark side" is a monumental disservice to everyone on this planet, and particularly the public in the USA. Controversial? Sure, it depicts a horrible truth. One we are under obligation to change. And the media´s role is to report facts.

We can select individual channels with our cable package so Discovery Channel is gone.
Who in the hell do these guys think they are??

Your refusal to air "Taxi To The Dark Side" sets a new (low) standard in corporate callowness. Congratulations!

You bought the rights to air "Taxi To The Dark Side," now please show it. The only explanation for sitting on it would be that you were pressured by the White House. If you air it now, you might avoid the media attention and immense pressure from those who think your actions are politically motivated. Do the right thing. Soon.

I very much would like to see ‘Taxi To The Dark Side’. I don't think it would be too controversial. I think it would be quite educational.
Thank you
