Was there any doubt that this would be the final outcome?
Heres the statement I love the most:
"Critics, including broadcasters and congressional Democrats, accused Tomlinson of trying to advance his own conservative agenda in public broadcasting, which is supposed to be non-partisan."
Says it all.

There's only one proper response... appoint someone even more conservative to take his place. Rinse and repeat until libs decide to STFU.

"which is supposed to be non-partisan."
Ooooooh for crying out loud! And as I often see people write in these threads...............please please oh please.
This is starting to look like the repeat of the 1905 and follow up 1917 revolutions in the mother land.

The leftists believe their own BS. Nothing will change the mindset of these animals.
Yes, that statement really does say it all. Note: The Republicans continue to fund Public Broadcasting.

Critics, including broadcasters and congressional Democrats, accused Tomlinson of trying to advance his own conservative agenda in public broadcasting, which is supposed to be non-partisan.He was there to stop the liberal bias in their programming. It's really time to defund PBS. The extreme far left has laid claim to it, so it no longer serves the American people. Shut it down.
To: thoughtomator
Exactly. Personally the best thing they can do is cut all funding for PBS and let it rise or fall on its own or sink like an old tennis shoe into the gloomy waters of Lake Wobegone. We do not need it and the people who want it and Public Radio can pay for it.

"Critics, including broadcasters and congressional Democrats, accused Tomlinson of trying to advance his own conservative agenda in public broadcasting, which is supposed to be non-partisan. Here's the problem - PBS defines "nonpartisan" as liberal elitist.

Think President Bush will appoint Robert H. Bork to replace him?

"You needn't wonder."
That cracked me up - in a lugubrious sort of way.
To: baystaterebel
The whole CPB/PBS/NPR mess should be de-funded, but the GOPers don't have the stomach to do it. Now, the propagandists will be more emboldened than ever.

In the repost of this story which was pulled, it indicated that another Republican had already taken this guy's place as Chair, and another Republican was seated as Vice Chair.
Both were recently elected by the Board. Of course, that was thrown in at the end of the article.
Maybe things aren't so dreary after all?

How about Rudy? And to get back on topic, PBS, with the advent of cable TV, became superfluous.

He should resign, it doesn't take a hired researcher to figure out PBS is biased.
