THOUGH IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THE Corporation for Public Broadcasting operates as a left-wing echo chamber on the public dole, apparently two Democratic congressmen like it that way. One, David Obey of Wisconsin, who I have met, doesn't surprise me. His whole schtick is using propoganda to spread fear about the Republican Party.
He and John Dingell are calling efforts to provide CPB with a balance of voices "illegal," via Drudge.
In a letter released Wednesday evening, Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., and Rep. John D. Dingell, D-Mich., asked CPB Inspector General Kenneth A. Konz to investigate the contracting, hiring and policies of the corporation, which distributes federal funds to public television stations. Both congressmen are ranking Democrats on committees that have oversight of public television.
They called recent actions taken by CPB Chairman Kenneth Tomlinson "disturbing'' and "extremely troubling."
Heaven forbid patrons of CPB have access to a balance of voices. The Democratic Party may lose even more seats than they already have.
