I don't remember all the details, but I remember that years ago, Kenneth Tomlinson was appointed chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and immediately denounced NPR as too liberal, saying it must become "balanced".
While I'm always glad that someone else has noticed the subversion of NPR, it was already well underway in the 90's during the Gingrich Contract on America. They cut NPR's funding based on the argument that, 'its not popular', or 'its not commercially viable'. NPR, to maintain their unbiased stance, broadcast the arguments that undermined it's own funding.
Today's NPR is more corporate because of it.. Don't fail to notice Liasson and Cole either, Fox News collaborators both of them.
