CPB Bias Inquiry 'Nutty,' Says Dorgan
By Bill McConnell -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/30/2005 12:45:00 PM
A controversial analysis of bias in public broadcasting was "a little nutty" and a "complete waste" of $14,000 in taxpayer funds, said Democratic Senator Byron Dorgan Thursday after reviewing 50 pages of raw data he obtained from the study commissioned by Corporation for Public Broadcasting Chairman Kenneth Tomlinson.
"It appears to have been cobbled together by an armchair analyst with little or no professional preparation," Dorgan said at a press conference last week.
#1) "Nutty" is such a technical term
and
#2) what is a waste of time about targeting to a demographic that feels put off?
The intent of the analysis was to gauge the political opinions expressed by guests of Now, NPR’s Diane Rehm and TV host Tavis Smiley. The analysis makes clear that Tomlinson’s controversial search for liberal bias in public broadcasting extended beyond his well-publicized concerns about Now with Bill Moyers.
Dorgan derided the criteria used to rate opinions as "utter nonsense." He noted that Republican Senator Chuck Hegel was rated as "liberal" for opposing the Iraq war during an appearance on Smiley's show.
#1) Chuck Hagel is Liberal... who is confused by this
and
#2) my #2 still stands
Look lets say you have a section of the market ( ooooh maybe 51% of the market) who doesn't like your product
isn't looking at Why a good idea
