What A Mann: The Nation has a very read-worthy article on the Mann Report-- the one Tomlinson had done to see if PBS shows were balanced or not. Here's a bit to whet your appetite: "The Mann report reads as if dictated by Cookie Monster while chewing on a mouthful of lead paint chips. Names of famous political figures and celebrities are chronically misspelled. PBS guests are categorized by labels--"anti-DeLay," "neutral," "x"--for often bewildering reasons. Mann appears to have spent endless hours monitoring programs with no political content, gathering such insights as that Ray Charles was blind. "
