Former PBS chair violated law

WASHINGTON - The former chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting broke federal law by interfering with PBS programming and appearing to use political tests in hiring the corporation’s new president, internal investigators said Tuesday.

Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, a Republican, also sought to withhold funding from PBS unless the taxpayer-supported network brought in more conservative voices to balance its programming, said the report by CPB inspector general Kenneth A. Konz.

I'll bet Bill Moyers is laughing his ass off over this!

2. Just another in a long line of conservative "victims"
Poor guy. He was fired because he tried to make it fair.

He was just trying to get some blance to all the liberal bias, and he lost his job...

11. "Another feeble attempt to shape the news by the repukes"???....
..."Feeble" enough to convince a majority of Americans that Bill Clinton had raped dozens of women, "feeble" enough to convince a solid majority of Americans that Iraq had WMDs.

And it has been "feeble" enough over the years to convince Americans of the "major" threat of Communism.
