The New York Times > Arts > Television > Republican Chairman Exerts Pressure on PBS, Alleging Biases: "Last November, members of the Association of Public Television Stations met in Baltimore along with officials from the corporation and PBS. Mr. Tomlinson told them they should make sure their programming better reflected the Republican mandate.
Mr. Tomlinson said that his comment was in jest and that he couldn't imagine how remarks at 'a fun occasion' were taken the wrong way. Others, though, were not amused.
'I was in that room,' said Ms. Mitchell. 'I was surprised by the comment. I thought it was inappropriate.' "
