This documentary is going to be shown during prime time on a major network (free and accessable by almost anyone).

So what? Star trek used to be shown in prime time, free and accessible to almost anyone. Should we ban that because it suggests manipulations of physical laws that are impossible (transporter, holodeck, food replicators, and warp drive unless we figure out how to make enough energy per second to power the entire earth for a day)?
Perhaps we should have banned MacGyver because the way they showed him making bombs wouldn't work in real life.
Let's not forget that the first thing the Bill of Rights says (other than how much he loves Alyson Hannigan
) is that we have this neat thing called freedom of speech.
If the network wants to air something, they're allowed to. Even if it isn't true. If you don't like it, exercise YOUR first amendment rights and tell the world what a crock it is.
