Warren Bell, a nominee to serve on the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: 

• thinks sports talk radio is more interesting than NPR.
• wants PBS to spend more time on "scripted programming" and move away from unscripted broadcasts - like news and documentaries.
• has zero professional experience in public broadcasting, education or public service.

The producer of According to Jim, Bell says that "creating pop culture has been the focus of my adult life." That's not quite the sensibility needed at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the agency in charge of "facilitating the development of ...non-commercial high-quality programming."

The Senate Commerce Committee will vote on whether or not to recommend Bell's nomination to the full Senate. If you think that our PBS and NPR stations deserve better than Warren Bell, go here to contact your Senator.
