Different "tone" and "style" at CPB?

In a September 27 article, the Los Angeles Times reported that Cheryl F. Halpern, the newly appointed chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), "indicated" in her opening remarks that she would bring a different "tone" and "style" to the job from that of outgoing chairman Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, who oversaw "one of the most divisive chapters in the corporation's 38-year history." But while also citing Halpern's 2003 Senate Commerce Committee testimony, the Times failed to identify remarks Halpern made in that testimony and elsewhere that suggest that she may be as divisive as Tomlinson. As other media outlets have noted, Halpern 1) has, like Tomlinson, accused National Public Radio (NPR) of airing news reports that are biased against Israel; and 2) touted in her Senate testimony an action taken by Voice of America and Radio Free Europe -- on whose governing board she previously served -- to "remove physically somebody who had engaged in editorialization of the news."
