PBS and the Koch Brother Scandal (plus “Koch Brothers
Exposed”)<http://www.juancole.com/2013/05/scandal-brothers-exposed.html>

Posted on 05/22/2013 by Juan Cole

PBS declined to show “Citizen
Koch<http://truth-out.org/news/item/16494-pbs-killed-wisconsin-uprising-documentary-citizen-koch-to-appease-koch-brothers>,
a documentary about the Wisconsin public union issue, treating the
influence of the dirty energy magnates who are destroying the world through
climate change and funding climate change denial, among the various other
nefarious things they do. This according to the New Yorker’s Jane
Mayer<http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/05/27/130527fa_fact_mayer?currentPage=all>.
It points to the dangers of declining public funding for institutions such
as PBS in favor of corporate sponsorships and the donations of the rich. No
wonder investigative journalism is an endangered species!

Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films <http://www.bravenewfilms.org/> on the
other hand is crowdsourced and can’t be so easily deterred:
