"Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, the Republican chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, hired a consultant to keep track of guests' political views on a program hosted by Moyers,"

"Shortly after becoming CPB chairman, Tomlinson sent Mitchell a letter complaining that Moyers' work "does not contain anything approaching the balance the law requires for public broadcasting."

=======================

How did this guy get to be the chairman of PBS?

He is trying to turn PBS into another FOX News.

The reason I bring this up is because the fact that PBS hasn't done a documentary on the 2004 election is obviously because of Tomlinson.
