Sir,
Sorry, but I really don't buy your statement. Bears: Too Close for Comfort was pulled because NJN was afraid to deal with a few animals rights activists, that had signed releases no less, who after the fact felt that they acted like asses and didn't want the program aired because it portrayed them for what they really are.
You caved in, and in the process have lost what credibility NJN might have had in my eyes.
Respectfully,
