Even though the rules are supposed to shield CPB from "politics", it seems to me that the rules protect CPB more from governmental control, not political influence. If everyone at PBS and NPR is a Democrat, except for the ones who are Greens, that can't help but color the content, even though government control never enters into it. Now if Tomlinson broke those rules, then of course he should answer for it and it looks like he has.
