Tomlinson "Wrecking" Public- Broadcasting Was ILLEGAL!

See this Times article here, excerpted below:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 - Investigators at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting concluded today that its former chairman (Ken Tomlinson) repeatedly broke federal law and its own regulations in a campaign to combat what he saw as liberal bias.**
A scathing report by the corporation's inspector general described a dysfunctional organization that violated the Public Broadcasting Act, which created the corporation and was written to insulate programming decisions from politics.
...
The report said that Tomlinson (pictured) violated federal law by promoting "The Journal Editorial Report" and said he had "admonished C.P.B. senior executive staff not to interfere with his deal to bring a balancing program" to public broadcasting. The board is prohibited from getting involved in programming decisions, but investigators found that Mr. Tomlinson had pushed hard for the program, even as some staff officials at the corporation raised concerns over its cost.
Think how many HOURS VOLUNTEERS have put in over the years and how much money people(MOSTLY ELDERLY) have DONATED -- to keep Public Broadcasting public and NON-POLITICAL. Then, this HACK-Tomlinson gets APPOINTED(yep!) by BUSH and tries to DESTROY it ALL in a few years. Name-calling is allowed, for this dude: "Incompetent, PIG-headed-HACK, moron!"
File under, You-paid-for-it, Herb.

**Remember, HIS IDEA of "liberal bias," is:
--[Too much facts / too many reality!]--
Give the Public what THEY want? Yeah!

Boy! This Jacob Spamming prick likes to force you to look at his site and preach his bad opinion to you as well! I would love to find out where these people live and piss on their door step (while they are standing there opening the door! Ha!). That's how annoying they are. I guess the only person that complains about them is me. Ok, ok, ok. To the point!
Is Herb saying that I'm elderly? I donated my last five dollars to PBS while in San Diego! I had to move to the freakin desert and hang out with a bunch of crackheads because of that! I'm not old!
Yes, Tomilinson is a conservative puke. What do you think he said when his buddy Bushy said "Ken, I want you to take down them there know it all liberals at Public radio and TV". " I know, I know, that sounds hard but so is this whole business of pretending to be the president of the US and A!" "How do you think I feel?" "Then those smart-baby killers say all those big words that we can't understand and that makes me mad!" "Plus, they said mean things about my Daddy!" " Take them down and I'll promote you to FEMA director later".

Well, apparently Tomlinson was appointed by Clinton! What the hell was he thinking? Here's the LA Times article:
