Board member continues questioning CPB funding
Article Abstract:
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is trying to appease congressional critics with an 'Open to the Public' Campaign to monitor balance and objectivity in the coverage of controversial topics. This move has not satisfied CPB Board member Vic Gold, a Bush appointee, or listener James Mullin. Both would like the CPB to cease the funding of both the producers of controversial, unbalanced programs and of the stations which air them. Conservative lawmakers have considered the CPB programs too liberal.

Politics jeopardizes public broadcasting funds
Article Abstract:
Conservatives in Congress have launched a political battle over reauthorizing funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). They complain that the CPB is not providing 'fair, objective and balanced programming' as it was created to do, but promoting liberal views and showing indecent programs. One bill introduced would eliminate all funding for CPB, and another bill was withdrawn when several amendments were introduced to give Congress more control over CPB.
