News Did Tomlinson Resign Due to Findings in the Inspector General's Report?

[Skyhunter]

I wonder what the Inspector Generals report says?

Tomlinson, a Republican, quit shortly before CPB Inspector General Kenneth Konz was to publish a report after investigating his activities, including paying outside researchers to check public programing for liberal bias.

I'll be interested in seeing the report when it comes out. PBS carries an assumption of neutrality, but it is still a media outlet. You can't just assume a media outlet isn't liberal because it is public and non-profit - it's still a media outlet. There is an inherrent liberal bend to its existence.

PBS is better than average - that's for sure. But it's still a media outlet and it is still liberal.

An opinion is a matter of perspective.

PBS and NPR haven't changed. It just seems that way because the mainstream has become so much more conservative.
