A Tucson woman has succeeded where director Michael Moore failed: She is making sure the anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" gets on television before the Nov. 2 election.

Radio producer Elaine Higginbotham has Moore's permission to air the controversial film on local public-access television.

Public radio and television are partly paid for through pledge drives for individual and commercial donors/sponsors.

There is no excuse for not having both programs - if they have either.

If this is indeed a one-sided operation, then all hell should be let loose against the station and its pledge operation - including specifically its local/state sponsors who, ironically, are usually non-liberal oriented.

Call the head of the pledge operation at the station and ask, passionately, why anyone should pledge to a station that is blatantly airing a film that is not a documentary but the worst of political propaganda - without airing the responding film.

Call the advertisers - they're usually mentioned at the NPR All Things Considered news (?) programs. A FReeping of the station could be very effective.
