What Can One Woman Do?

Patricia de Stacy Harrison, ormer co-chair of the RNC and now a high-ranking official at State, is one of two candidates for the top job at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. According to WaPo, sources close to the search say she has a good chance of getting the gig.

PBSers are obviously mortified.

Critics, including veteran PBS newsman and commentator Bill Moyers, have said [board chair Kenneth] Tomlinson is trying to use CPB's power to inject Republican ideology into PBS and National Public Radio programs.

Heaven forbid that any Republican ideology should be injected into publicly funded broadcasting. No, according to Moyer, the nation's leading biased journalist, PBS should remain the exclusive domain of people to the left of the DNC.

But really, even with a Republican-dominated board and a Republican president, liberal ideology is so entrenched in the trenches that Harrison will likely have only a symbolic, and largely ineffective, tenure. Still, a little symbolism shoved down the throats of public dole Socialist broadcasters is a good thing.
