Tomlinson Resigns From CPB Board

HeadlineNov 04, 2005

In media news, Kenneth Tomlinson has resigned from the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Tomlinson issued his resignation one day after the submission of an inspector general’s report critical of his tenure. Tomlinson, a staunch conservative, was head of the board until stepping down in September. He drew controversy for hiring a Republican operative to monitor the political leanings of shows hosted by Bill Moyers, Tavis Smiley and Diane Rehm, and for hiring Republican lobbyists to defeat bills that would have modified rules on board membership.
