ROFL!!!!!

Fox News has this (which I first thought must be a parody)

"Public TV advocacy groups are upset that State Department official Patricia de Stacy Harrison is being considered as the next president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Harrison is now assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs and earlier was acting under secretary of state for public diplomacy. Prior to that she was co-chair of the Republican National Committee.
The Iowa Public Broadcasting board, quoted by
The Washington Post, has said hiring a "partisan political activist ... would call into question the motivations of everything we do." And the Association of Public Television Stations says, "it's not in the best interest of public broadcasting to put someone in that position who has a history of activism."

I'm sorry, but how can they say any of that with a straight face? Really. The part I highlighted in red is the most hilarious statement anyone in public broadcasting has ever said. This was the playground of Bill Moyers for decades for heaven's sake.

It's like being at the Mad Hatter's tea party.
