Kenneth Tomlinson was the chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a position he was elected to in September 2003. [1] He also served as the chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
Tomlinsone resigned in early November 2005, after an internal CPB investigation into Tomlinson's controversial use of outside "bias ratings" to make executive decisions regarding shows such as NOW with Bill Moyers, found incriminating findings. In a statement the board said:
I'm just recalling some misuse of funds by Moyers, if I'm not mistaken...can't quite remember what it was...overpaid himself or something like that.
I don't recall any criminal investigation, but of course, that's the liberal way.
