Wall Street Journal Editors Defend Tomlinson

Editors at the Wall Street Journal defend former Corporation for Public Broadcasting chairman Ken Tomlinson. The WSJ developed a new show during Tomlinson’s watch. “We knew Mr. Tomlinson was pushing for the program from his perch at CPB, but our job wasn’t to dissect the internal debates and politics of public broadcasting. That’s too opaque for any outsider, and even apparently for an insider like Mr. Konz, whose report is laced with such weaselly and inconclusive phrases as “the questions involve whether” Mr. Tomlinson “breached his fiduciary responsibilities.” Well, did he or not?”
