Is PBS Too Liberal?

Kenneth Tomlinson, the Chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, believes PBS is too liberal, and he’s taken measures to make some of its programs more “balanced.” Critics say the Chairman’s involvement is inappropriate, and that his actions represent government interference in PBS programming. Tomlinson says he’s simply trying to correct bias, and to make PBS appealing to a broader constituency. Larry Mantle talks with Common Cause President and CEO Chellie Pingree and Tim Graham of the Media Research Center.
