We could additionally see coming from e-mail traffic among Tomlinson along with Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot -- helpfully introduced through Gigot -- in which Tomlinson bragged to Gigot, concerning past PBS president Pat Mitchell, that he would "hold up the girl funds if the lady doesn't deliver" about the Journal's pundit chat show.

Tomlinson asks Gigot pertaining to help "to set some backfires" and also promises "to find somebody considering laughing from these clowns."
