Restoring Balance at PBS

George Neumayr, executive editor of The American Spectator, published this article today titled, Tired of the PBS, at spectator.org's site.

To quote the article's opener:

PBS is a government subsidy for obnoxious, deep-pocketed progressives and a jobs program for liberal journalists. But the New York Times' story targeting Kenneth Tomlinson, the Republican chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, suggests that the left is losing its grip on PBS and getting pretty worried about it. The Times story -- titled "Republican Chairman Exerts Pressure on PBS, Alleging Biases" -- reads like a press release from the office of Bill Moyers.

There is a law mandating balance that set up PBS years ago. Yet, liberal ideas monopolize its programming. Is this all that Americans get for the higher taxes they are paying to sustain PBS?

With Republicans seemingly coy at tackling PBS, Americans need Kenneth Tomlinson at PBS to loosen the liberals' stranglehold off it. Expect that the more effective Tomlinson gets, the more vitriol would flow from the elite media conduits.
