if we don't charge on despite all the criticism:

"Whatever one thinks of Perle and of the philosophies that took us into Iraq," he said,

"it is a hugely important part of American policy, and I don't think the neoconservative view has ever been put out on American television."

Said by Mr. Leo Eaton, producer of "America at a Crossroads", a series soon to run on PBS.
Mr. Eaton was defending the inclusion of Richard Perle's film, "The Case For War", in the series, which consists of eleven independently made films. Independent at least in the sense they were made by different filmmakers. Mr. Perle being one, or rather the subject, or cause of one.
That inclusion caused Mr. John Schidlovsky, founding director of the International Reporting Project at Johns Hopkins University and one of the "Crossroads" outside advisers, to resign from the project, saying on his way:

"In a series as comprehensive as this nationwide 12-hour production, I believe it is editorially imbalanced for PBS to present only one viewpoint on this important story."

Elizabeth Jensen, in her story in the Television section of the New York Times, from which these quotes were drawn, concerning another of the films in the series:

Meanwhile some Muslim leaders are unhappy about "Faith Without Fear," in which a Canadian journalist, Irshad Manji, gets an hour to outline her call for changes in what she sees as overly monolithic Muslim societies. As in Mr. Perle's film, Ms. Manji's views come with a counterpoint: her observant Muslim mother.

"Meanwhile" and "some" being shadow diminutives, and serving to keep any Muslim criticism of the series firmly marginalized and adjacent to the hobgoblins and boogie-men-of-terror the media has portrayed so vividly for its viewers these last five years or so.
It's probable Ms. Jensen didn't mean to imply that Mrs. Manji's observant Muslim mother is also in Mr. Perle's film.
Ms. Jensen, again:

The series incorporates numerous voices that might not usually be found on public television, including, in an odd twist, President Bush’s chief domestic policy adviser, Karl Zinsmeister. He has a producer credit on "Warriors," a sympathetic portrait of soldiers, filmed in Iraq in 2005. Mr. Zinsmeister, an editor at the American Enterprise Institute when the film was commissioned, recused himself from finishing it after his White House appointment last May, turning the production over to his wife, Ann Zinsmeister, and the director Ed Robbins.

"The Case for War" survived the gantlet as well, although the British producer who conceived it, Brian Lapping, also recused himself after publicity over his friendship with Mr. Perle.

Mr. Perle said his critics had a straightforward goal...

Ms. Jensen's story was published in the Times April 1, 2007.

Those who would disagree with Mr. Eaton, who doesn't think "the neoconservative view has ever been put out on American television", should keep in mind that "the neoconservative view" has never been presented on American television as such, but rather always as the naturally arising will of the American people, an outgrowth of common decency and moral outrage - an outraged moral response to what have been portrayed to them consistently and invariably as causeless acts of irrational hatred, of themselves and freedom, and the actions of outright evil.
This has never been presented as "the neoconservative view" because, until the internet and widespread common access to it made the term "neocon" familiar and useful in describing those men who have worked so diligently behind the scenes in the Bush Administration and elsewhere to accomplish goals that had nothing to do with the welfare and well-being of America or Americans, no one outside a narrow stratum of politically sophisticated people, and some academics here and there, had any idea what it meant.
