Bush Nominates National Review Writer To Public Broadcasting Board

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/21/warren-bell/

The Corner is reporting that President Bush plans to nominate Warren Bell, television producer and National Review writer, to the Board of Directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). The CPB is designed to provide a buffer between independent public broadcast networks and partisan politics.

�I have met President Bush twice. I have no powerful political connections � both times were the result of sizable checks written by me to support his campaign.� <3/31/05>

3. Well..

.. my local PBS is already about as conservative as it can get.

I guess it could get worse and turn into another version of FuxNews.

4. Well ananda,

I think that's Bush's objective, to pack the Board just as he has done the Supreme Court, et al. How's the saying go, "Power Corrupts but total power Totally Corrupts". Something like that? The man is totally Evil in my opinion.

5. How about Foxnews and The 700 Club combined?

Science specials about creationism etc.
Instead of Sesame Street there will be Bible stories for kids.
