The report, released Thursday, concluded that out of 183 public TV
and 408 public radio stations, 53 of them, or 9%, made their lists
available to political groups.
The list of stations that shared is impressive.
The release of the report coincided with the resignation of PBS
president Ervin S. Duggan, who will step down on October 31 --
most believe as a result of the scandal, however, PBS officials

In July as the scandal heated up, Republicans threatened to end a
congressional debate over a $525 million PBS funding increase
because the coveted lists were reported to have fallen into
predominantly Democratic hands. Democrats spun that Republican
groups, too, were getting the lists: This was a bipartisan scandal!
According to the GLOBE'S Anne Kornblut: "Some stations did

Republican organizations... But the investigator found the vast
majority of those groups were not connected to the Republican
Party."
