Stop self-censorship and air the documentary Citizen Koch.
The Koch brothers and their money from their vast business empire has served to deeply influence our political happenings over the last several years. Because of this, this family should not be allowed to stay in the shadows protected from scrutiny by national media, especially a Public Broadcasting Station. We deserve to see a documentary of the Koch brothers. This is exactly what you organization has been to us since its inception. Why are you folding on your original mission now???????
Why is this important?
I want to know about the Koch brothers who have been so instrumental in funding ALEC and gathering Libertarian Conservatives into groups which they are wielding power and money which is truly unprecedented in our political affairs. Because the Kochs have been donating to PBS in some venues, I fear that PBS is alarmed that a documentary, which I assume would be done with the same dedication to truth in reporting and investigation, would aggravate their donor base, especially the Kochs themselves. That to me is a violation of all that PBS represents to the American audience ....
