PBS has put Season 3 of its genealogy-themed program Finding Your Roots on the bench after an internal review found that the show violated its standards by omitting information about Ben Affleck's slave owner ancestor from a 2014 episode.
The network's internal review, made public by PBS Tuesday, said the co-producers failed to "shield the creative and editorial process from improper influence" and failed to "inform PBS or WNET of Mr. Affleck?s efforts to affect program content."
