More Koch News

Another leftie newsletter I get irregularly is now whining that the Koch brothers are in control of....get this...PBS!
Here's a quote from the e-mail:
The Koch Brothers are already gunning for our newspapers: Don't let them take PBS too!
Garrison Keillor will soon be breaking rocks in the VRWC detention facility hidden under DIA in Denver I'm sure. NTTAWWT of course.

The whole thing was triggered when the Kochs suggested that a fact check in front of a judge might be in order regarding the content of a proposed smear piece:
PETITION TO PBS: We urge you to reverse your decision to keep "Citizen Koch" from America, rejecting corporate pressure and accepting the documentary back into the "Independent Lens" series.
Somehow they feel that the "Citizens United" decision went too far in allowing some of the very rich to spend their own money on the wrong side of the debate.
