Koch Bros/PBS
#1
Anyone remember that kerfuffle? I was scanning tonight's programming and they billboarded the 20212 movie "Koch Brothers Exposed". When the time arrived they'd (PBS) substituted a Gershwin program.

Why program something you're not going to show? Seems the brothers tenticles reach far, wide and given today's date long.

Anyone here had an opportunity to actually see the movie?

I think I saw it in a weekend repeat the first week it was on. This says it is the full movie on Youtube.

If you search for Robert Greenwald at the PBS site you get one link to a Bill Moyers episode that wasn't about the Koch brothers.
If it was aired, under what name, and what station? A local station can run anything they want, as long as they have the funding. So it could have aired that way.

Here's the rundown on his top points about the brothers Koch if you don't want to watch the entire youtube production:

It was either KCET or PBSW that substituted for "Exposed".
