NEW YORK - After being caught in a storm over political influence at PBS, a weekly talk show featuring members of the Wall Street Journal editorial staff is shifting to Fox News Channel.

It was the "Journal Editorial Report" that was cited last month by an internal investigator at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting when he accused the CPB's former chairman, Kenneth Tomlinson, of meddling in PBS programming to promote a conservative agenda.

The last PBS edition of the conservative-leaning talk show anchored by Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot will air on Friday. A new season will start on Fox News Channel on Saturdays in January.

Fox News approached Journal executives about making the move several months ago, before release of the report by CPB inspector general Kenneth Konz that accused Tomlinson of violating ethical standards by dealing directly with Journal staffers. The CPB helps fund PBS but is not supposed to be involved in programming decisions.

2. Hasn't been on here for a while now

PBS Hawai'i gave the time slot to a local show with the editor of Pacific Business News. Much more droll than you'd expect from an economist, and refreshingly apolitical.

thug Paul Gigot is.

6. Cool! Let's ghettoize all the freepers!

I don't trust anything coming from Opinion Journal. The writing's on par with Newsmax or WND. Opinion Journal is lots of childish crap from an otherwise good newspaper.
