Pro Israeli possibly to head Public Broadcasting
Corporation for Public Broadcasting is getting a new chairperson, after much controversy. Their choice might just change things:
From the N.Y. Times :
..Board members, who plan to meet Monday in Washington, said this week that the leading candidate to become the corporation's next chairwoman was Cheryl F. Halpern, a Republican fund-raiser and former chairwoman of the Republican Jewish Coalition.
Ms. Halpern, a resident of Livingston, N.J., who has been on the corporation's board since 2002, has been critical of National Public Radio's Middle East coverage, saying it was slanted against Israel. Her family has business interests in Israel. At her Senate confirmation hearing two years ago, she suggested that journalists in public broadcasting should be punished for editorializing....
Well we always knew N.P.R. and P.B.S. needed a new head.
