A&E to conduct investigation to probe what happened during production

The subjects of a TV documentary series about the Ku Klux Klan abruptly canceled last week by A&E allege to Variety that significant portions of what was filmed were fabricated by the producers.

Some KKK leaders divulged that they were paid hundreds of dollars in cash each day of filming to compel them on camera to distort the facts of their lives to fit the documentary’s predetermined narrative: tension between Klan members and relatives of theirs who wanted to get out of the Klan.

The findings are based on an exclusive Variety investigation based on interviews with over two dozen individuals in and around the KKK who cooperated with the documentary in at least six U.S. states....

A&E shows themselves to be as disgusting as the KKK in exploiting and propagating racism.

Of course they did, its reality TV.

Its what reality TV has done since the first reality TV show aired.

What's next, a breaking story telling me that the WWE is fixed?

I'm glad A & E decided not to show this so-called "reality" show. Good for those who pressured them not to though of course, they have the right to free speech, others have a right too.
