Nearly 100 environmental activists protested outside WGBH’s Brighton studios yesterday calling for conservative billionaire David Koch’s ouster from the public broadcaster’s board of trustees.

“I am here today because David Koch is a climate denier and ’GBH has scientific programs and he should have absolutely no influence on PBS and public broadcasting,” said Nate Goldshlag of Arlington.

"...is a Climate denier." Oh to be a trust-fund liberal.

Who employs these 100 people?
Do they receive $10/hr for that day then go back to the streets and alleys whence they came from?

How can one “deny” climate?

That’s like trying to deny sunshine. Its all around you.

Dump Koch, refuse their tainted contributions, and make up the difference by taxes. Yeah, that’s the PC ticket.

I protest PBS and any other federally funded arts programs. If people want it, let them pay for it.

You forgot the step to triple Koch’s taxes, after refusing contributions.

"Activists" are exactly what is wrong with the USA today. We have a "Community Activist" as _resident and look what that has brought about. I pray the the LSM slowly drops it's support of these morons and somehow brings back sensibility to our once great nation.

“I am here today because David Koch is a climate denier . . .

What a boneheaded thing to do and say.

So he gives millions to public broadcasting and they still hate him. The station rushes out with a statement that trustees don’t influence programing content. If it were me, I’d say F-U to all of them and stop donating, but then again, I’d never donate to public broadcasting to begin with.

Sounds like Nate Goldshlag of Arlington is little different from any other brown-shirted book burner.

Sounds like an admission that the GBH board (or PBS in general) regularly influences what reporters say on the air. If not, why the concern for the composition of the board?

It looks like this is the Nate Goldschlag that that tried to arrest Donald Rumsfeld. He looks like a real loser.

They also have absolutely no understanding of the topic they claim to know about.

My personal favorite is “Food Babe.” She has a degree as Computer Science and is a “self-taught” food scientist who goes after major brands to get them to remove ingredients she had determined are bad. She also believes that saying “Satan” to a glass of water will chance it’s properties and a microwave will do the same thing, so therefore microwaves are bad.
