PBS fears conservative change in the works for CPB

mdoneil writes “The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is now dominated by Bush appointees. The CPB was created by congress in 1967. As a quango it is to act as a buffer between government authorities and broadcasters. For the first time the CPB has appointed monitors (2 veteran journalists) to screen content for bias.


PBS is all worked up over this and is calling it a potential violation of the First Amendment. Is this more liberal whinging? We report, you decide!

N.B As I type this I am watching Tele-tubbies which is much better than the Stepfordp-like medicated tots on Barney.”
