Fear of upsetting major PBS donor and right-wing billionaire David Koch is no reason not to air an informative documentary. Citizen Koch is a powerful documentary by Academy Award-nominated filmmakers that tells the story of the outsized role of money in politics.

I would like for KET to air the documentary "Citizen Koch."

"Citizen Koch" was pulled from a national public television broadcast because of fear of upsetting David Koch, who has been a major donor to public television. But public television stations should answer to viewers like me, not to billionaires like the Koch brothers -- and I want to see this important documentary. Will you join the call for a national broadcast of "Citizen Koch" on Independent Lens?

It is not right to censor an excellent documentary simply because public TV station managers are afraid of right wingers and don't want to upset billionaire David Koch and the tea bagger movement.

We would like to see 'Citizen Koch' aired on OPB please.

Koch money shouldn't influence public television programming -- we want to see the film "Citizen Koch" aired on PBS!

While I understand PBS not wanting to anger big donors, PBS owes it to "we the people" to present information that helps us make the informed decisions necessary to support our democratic republic. That's what the "public" in PBS stands for!

"Citizen Koch" should be broadcast on PBS to counter the Koch attempt to suppress quality journalism. We already have Rupert Murdoch pulling the string at Fox News. Give PBS back to its viewers!

Additional background: Earlier this summer, a New Yorker article revealed that public television pulled the documentary Citizen Koch from a planned national broadcast – out of fear of upsetting major PBS donor and right-wing billionaire David Koch. Citizen Koch is a powerful documentary by Academy Award-nominated filmmakers that tells the story of the outsized role of money in politics. After we learned what happened, more than 350,000 people around the country signed a petition urging public television to end the self-censorship and air Citizen Koch. Recently we delivered those petitions to public television’s flagship station, WNET in New York – and now we’re stepping up the fight by urging local stations to do the same.
