'Why We Went Public'
"We hope our experience, like the film itself, will spark conversation
about how power wielded by high-dollar political donors like Charles
and DavidKoch distorts the public dialogue. With the possibility
looming that the Kochs' may purchase the Tribune Company of
newspapers, this conversation takes on vital relevance."
– Carl Deal and Tia Lessin, co-directors of 'Citizen Koch'
'Private Money Is Enough to Silence Public Television'
"It's the very thing our film is about—public servants bowing to pressures,
direct or indirect, from high-dollar donors." – Deal and Lessin
'What PBS's Treatment of Two Movies About
the Kochs Says About Which Money Counts In Public Television'
"...a 'public' television regime that's established to give extremely wealthy
people another way to buy programming power other than by purchasing
affiliate stations is 'public' only in a business sense, rather than serving
a broadly-defined public interest." – Alyssa Rosenberg
