dropping like flies at NPR
Posted: Mar 9, 2011
Vivian Schiller is gone now too.
Exposed for their bias and hate. Another one bites the dust. America isn't fooled by their hypocrisy. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Vivian.
Some of your tax dollars hard at work. Here's an opinion piece by Mark Fiore and a remider of NPRs fair and balanced work:

OPINION: 'Learn To Speak Tea Bag'
New Animation From Independent Syndicated Columnist Mark Fiore
November 12, 2009
Learning a new language doesn't have to be hard, especially when "Tea Bag" is so minimalistic! Mark Fiore offers his personal take in this animation. The Wall Street Journal dubbed Fiore "the undisputed guru of the form." He creates political animation from an undisclosed location somewhere in San Francisco.
Interested in learning more about the origins of the 'tea bag' movement? Jay Nordlinger of The National Review breaks down where the term came from, what it means, and why it's been embraced — and rejected — by conservatives and liberals alike.

Wasn't the fundraiser who got caught on video... - named Schiller as well?
[ In Reply To ..]coincidence or related?
At any rate, they should pull government funding. NPR has always leaned left and it really didn't matter until the midterms shellacking (awakening) when grassroots conservatives began to pay attention. Uh oh. Karma bites.
If they want to lean left, let them go for it, but it needs to be on the liberals' dime. Wonder how much funding they will get if they have to depend on liberal monies and liberal listenership?
Not well if what is on the airwaves now is any indication.
Coincidence - they're not related. - Zville MT
[ In Reply To ..]What I don't get is why everyone is so surprised by this. I mean, haven't they ever listened to NPR?
I am not sure everyone was aware of tax dollars - partially going to fund them.
[ In Reply To ..]or that they were "supposed" to be bipartisan. I think most people who listened to NPR were aware they were liberal left leaning...but NOT that they were "supposed" to be bipartisan.
ruh-roh NPR - icedT
[ In Reply To ..]I guess we now know why Vivian left so quickly. More tapes to come. LOL.

OâKeefe: More Controversial NPR Videos to Come
By: David A. Patten
Thereâs more video where that came from, says James OâKeefe, the muckraking activist behind TheProjectVeritas.org. The controversial video-sting impresario tells Newsmax that heâs prepared to release yet more embarrassing revelations about NPR, but first he wants to gauge NPRâs reaction to the bomb he dropped Tuesday.
In an exclusive Newsmax interview, OâKeefe says heâs waiting to see whether NPR comes clean âabout what is going onâ before he doles out more video.
On Tuesday morning, OâKeefe released undercover video showing a top NPR executive, Ron Schiller, making disparaging comments about a broad swath of Americana, including Christians, Jews, evangelicals, Republicans, and tea party members.
Embattled NPR, which faces a tea-party led push to yank its taxpayer funding, quickly responded with a statement that it was âappalledâ at Schillerâs statements. Schiller, who was NPRâs chief fundraiser, was president of the NPR Foundation and development vice president for NPR, at the time the surreptitious video was recorded in February.
âWeâre not done releasing footage,â OâKeefe told Newsmax in an exclusive interview Tuesday. âWe have more investigative material that weâre going to release.
âIâm not really going to comment on it yet, but I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with this story as it develops,â he promised.
News that OâKeefe is sitting on additional revelations could hardly be welcome at NPR, the publicly subsidized news and information outlet that is already under fire from conservatives in Congress who want to eliminate its funding, in part because of its perceived liberal bias.
According to NPR, which receives about $90 million in taxpayer funding a year, Schiller announced last week that he was leaving NPR to join the Aspen Institute, a seminar and think-tank closer to his Colorado home.
In the video, Schiller is seen at a luncheon meeting in Georgetown with prospective NPR donors who claim to represent a pro-shariah group called the Muslim Education Action Center. The prospective donors, who say they have $5 million to disburse, are actually grass-roots activists OâKeefe trained.
The videotape shows Schiller telling his prospects that the the grass-roots conservative tea party organizations have âhijackedâ the Republican party. He states that the new GOP elements are "not just Islamaphobic, but really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting â I mean, it's scary. They're seriously racist, racist people.â
Schillerâs potential patrons state outright on their faux Web site that they support the spread of extremist shariah law. They also are heard telling Schiller that their organization has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, an extremist group that has been linked to terrorism.
In the video, Schiller also defended NPRâs decision to terminate its association with commentator and columnist Juan Williams over comments Williams made on Fox News last year. Williams discussed his uneasiness about flying with people wearing traditional Muslim garb. Schiller said Williams had âlost all credibility.â
Conservatives widely interpreted that firing as an example of NPRâs left-wing bias, and cited it as a case of political correctness run amok.
âWhat NPR did Iâm very proud of,â Schiller says.
NPRâs CEO later said after the firing that the matter was mishandled. âI deeply regret the way I handled it and explained it,â she said at the time.
Another NPR fundraiser, Institutional Giving Director Betsy Liley, also attended the Feb. 22 meal where Schiller made those remarks. She appears to compare Americaâs treatment of Muslims in the years since 9/11 with the internment of Japanese Americans in camps during WWII.
âThese are senior level executives,â OâKeefe says. âSo I find it ironic that heâs spending time telling us, âJuan Williams lost all credibility when he expressed his opinion.â
âWhat about the guy who runs all of NPRâs development, and who is like Number 2 or Number 3 at NPR, what about when he calls 30 percent of the country racist, and Islamaphobic, and gun-toting, and crazy?â OâKeefe said.
âI mean, it seems to me that theyâre in trouble because heâs simultaneously advocating you lose all credibility to express his opinion, and here he is expressing his opinion,â OâKeefe told Newsmax.
Asked to elaborate on the additional revelations he plans, OâKeefe confirmed the additional disclosures involve NPR, but would not say whether they stem from the same meeting involving Schiller and Liley.
âBut stay tuned, and youâll see,â he told Newsmax. âI want to see if NPR tells the truth about what is going on. I want to see how they tell the truth, and then weâre going to release more information. So weâll see what happens.â
Itâs not the first time OâKeefe has found himself at the center of a controversy related to undercover video. His secret video recordings of conversations with various chapters of the ACORN community-organizing groups directly contributed to the group being stripped of its federal funding.

Can't wait for the next segment. - It is about time people see
[ In Reply To ..]them for what they are. That little upstart impudent group is taking them down piece by piece. This kid doesn't even have to go looking...they hand it to him. Sweeeetttt.
The idea that this man would talk trash about his fellow Americans to people affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood (that is who he thought he was talking to) is just plain old disgusting.
Come on, 2012. It keeps going on like this, and middle of the road or conservative Democrats keep letting liberals speak for them, it is going to be hard to get elected dogcatcher on the Democratic ticket.
How many times are we going to see and hear about this leading up to the 2012 election? About the only thing the Dem Party could do worse is get Charlie Sheen to do a spot for them....the machete video might be a good one to start.
I would LOL but it is so pitiful....
