POV

This article needs to be revised to eliminate POV. The opening discussion about "forcing" mergers, and the asserted reasons therefor, is simply and categorically false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.232.212.61 (talk) 20:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Republican Dominated?

3 Republicans 2 Democrats 1 Independent

Sounds like it's 50% Republican.

The comment above is from 08:39, July 7, 2006 Dubc0724. Dubc- sign your comments. The phrase "republican dominated" made more sense prior to Tomlinson's resignation, when there were 4 republicans. If you take a look at CPB's actions, especially under Tomlinson, there is undoubtedly a bit of a right-wing agenda, but yes, maybe "republican dominated" is not accurate at the moment. Personally, I wouldn't bother changing the phrase since there will be a clear republican majority again as soon as Bush gets around to making appointments. --Osbojos 21:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Logo Idents

If no one protests, I'm going to delete this section. It strikes me as irrelevant, and raises issues of WP:RS, WP:TRIV, WP:V, and WP:OR.--Osbojos 04:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Corporation for Public Broadcasting logo.png

Image:Corporation for Public Broadcasting logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Board updates?

In the article, the information about the CPB board seems pretty outdated - one section says presently (as of May 2007) and another gives the current membership as of February 2007. Is it possible to get more up-to-date information about the membership? Has an appointment been made? lithium3141 (talk) 12:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Logo

It says in the article that the new logo has been in use since 2003. However, while searching the Internet Archives, I discovered that the new logo had been used on CPB's website since 2000. GlobetrotterUltima (talk) 16:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

This is a "private" corporation?!

I don't see how the above phrase can be correct, when it is applied to an organisation which: has an "annual budget ... composed almost entirely of an annual appropriation from Congress"; was set up by the US government and; has a board made up of members appointed by the White House! Grant | Talk 09:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I have some problems with this too. This is like saying the fed or the post office is private." Can I suggest adding the modifier "Quasi" in front of the word private? Onefinalstep (talk) 03:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
