Lots happening this week regarding public broadcasting and its funding. Anything I post will not necessarily be in chronological order.

It seems the guy Kenneth Y. Tomlinson secretly hired to monitor Bill Moyers is an extreme right winger who worked for 20 years at the American Conservative Union, "the nation's oldest conservative lobbying organization".

Mr. Tomlinson is reportedly rushing through the appointment of Patricia Harrison, a former co-chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, as the new president of CPB.
