why couldn't we some how force PBS to kick the Koch's out?

Just watched all in or something on MSNBC where they mentioned the Koch Brothers sit on the board or something of PBS? WTF!?????

1. All we have to do is find someone

who will underwrite millions of dollars of PBS programming.
It's all about the money.

2. Here's the BoD of PBS

I don't see any Kochs.

3. They are big time funders and they got PBS to block a documentary

Sickening indeed but more sickening is that when I switched to PBS earlier that racist scumbag Pat Buchanan was on the McLaughlin group.

5. What's sad is that Buchanan is now a moderate compared to the TeaBaggers. Who wudda thunk?

He seemed like the most Batshit 16-20 years ago, but the core of the GOP has flown by him now in the wingnut department.

8. Amazing indeed

Did Fox fire him?

4. Follow the money. They are big financial contributers.

[PDJane]

6. They paid for the privilege

7. They are not on the board of directors of PBS or CPB

They are large donors to both.

9. He resigned from board of WNET (NYC) but still on board of WGBH (Boston)

These are PBS affiliates, not PBS (or CPB).

From the original reporting by Jane Mayer in the New Yorker, May 27 of this year:

In the end, the various attempts to assuage David Koch were apparently insufficient. On Thursday, May 16th, WNET’s board of directors quietly accepted his resignation. It was the result, an insider said, of his unwillingness to back a media organization that had so unsparingly covered its sponsor.
