LA Times

WASHINGTON — The former chairman of the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting repeatedly violated the organization’s contracting rules and
code of ethics in his efforts to promote conservatives in the system,
according to an internal investigation released today.

The 42-page report — the culmination of a six-month investigation by
Kenneth A. Konz, the corporation’s inspector general — described former
Chairman Kenneth Y. Tomlinson as a rogue politico who overstepped the
boundaries of his position to right what he viewed as a liberal tilt in
public broadcasting.

Tomlinson, who resigned his board position this month in advance of the
report, denied any wrongdoing in a statement included in the report, calling
the charges “malicious and irresponsible.”

The investigation was requested in the spring by Reps. David Obey (D-Wis.)
and John Dingell (D-Mich.).
