KUHT Houston: Local viewers like me want PBS to stop the self-censorship and air the documentary...

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

Why is this important?

"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?
