• 'The Corporation for Broadcasting' has a Nice Ring to It ; What Needs to Be Excised Is the 'Public,' As in Any Taxpayer Money Whatsoever.

People who don't pay attention to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting or its associated networks, National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System, probably wonder why conservatives have spent decades in a so-far-futile fight to deny public funding for Big Bird and Elmo.

What some on this board are doing today, led by its chairman, Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, is too important, too disturbing and yes, even too dangerous for a gathering like this not to address. We're seeing unfold a contemporary example of the age-old ambition of power and ideology to squelch and punish journalists who tell the stories that make princes and priests uncomfortable.
