 This article documents a current event.
Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.

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:

"The board does not believe that Mr. Tomlinson acted maliciously or with any intent to harm CPB or public broadcasting...Nonetheless, both the board and Mr. Tomlinson believe it is in the best interests of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that he no longer remain on the board.

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.
