Just in case you would like to add your comments to the article, "MPT airing deeply flawed film about Lyme disease" by Dan Rodricks, I have included a link to the full article below. Here is the introductory paragraph:
Maryland Public Television is set to air a polemical film about Lyme disease that is built on fear-provoking speculations and assertions while advancing a central message that has been discredited by experts in infectious diseases. Despite being apprised of the film's serious flaws, MPT has "Under Our Skin: A Health Care Nightmare" on its afternoon schedule for June 26.

This has already been tried, and it failed.
See the other thread on this subject for a better way of reacting to this.....comment line for the station, to encourage them. Other stations have cancelled in the face of pressure.
Or if anyone is qualified and a good writer for a short direct letter to the editor that might get published. This Op ed should not go unchallenged.

I believe many people read comments at the end of articles to get a feeling for other people's opinions and a wider viewpoint, so I disagree with your comment of "a better way of reacting to this." Perhaps "more ways to reacting" would be better stated.
