[Swprograms] CPB meddling

[Dexter Alexander <dexalex@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Richard, for the heads up on this issue.

I also sent my two cents worth to CPB.  I praised them for their apparent attempt to bring some editorial balance to the left-wing propaganda of PBS and encouraged them to also rein in NPR's leftist social agenda.

Thanks again for your help in making me aware of this issue.

Now the CPB, under Ken Tomlinson (where have I heard that name
before?) wants to influence PBS editorial policy the same way the IBB
has attacked the VOA.

The implication that there is a correlation between editorial policy
and congressional funding support is troubling.

The CPB has a web form for public comment available at
http://www.cpb.org/talktous/.  I sent them my two cents' worth; I
suggest others contact them if this development concerns you (or if it
doesn't).
