More on moving US public broadcasting to the right.

Earlier today, we had took note of a NY Times article on the efforts by the new right-wing leadership of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to 'correct' the 'liberal bias' of public TV and radio in the US. While we had some comments on the article's shortcomings, the folks at Media Matters did us one better and figured out what information the Times left out of the article:

In a May 2 article on efforts by Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, Republican chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), "to correct what he and other conservatives consider liberal bias" at CPB, New York Times reporters Stephen Labaton, Lorne Manley, and Elizabeth Jensen noted that CPB recently appointed two ombudsmen "to review the content of public radio and television broadcasts." But the article failed to note that one of the ombudsmen, William Schulz, is an avowed conservative with close ties to Tomlinson, while the other, Ken Bode, is a former journalist and a fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute who last year endorsed Indiana Republican gubernatorial candidate Mitch Daniels. In addition, the Times story made no mention that CPB's new chief operating officer and acting president is a former Bush administration official.

And that's not all of it, either. Check out the whole article here.
