This is only part one of the latest investigation by journalist/provocateur, James O’Keefe.
In this production, Senior VP of Development of the NPR Foundation, Ron Schiller, is shown discussing a potential donation from a phony Muslim Brotherhood front group set-up by O’Keefe’s team. While discussing the importance of NPR, Mr. Schiller expresses his views on conservatives, the Tea Party, Republicans, Zionist and much more.
Now that’s what I call “one of the greatest gonzo pranks of all time” —because it helps expose what an appalling organization NPR is.
I don’t know what I’m more appalled by – the fact that this dope from the supposedly “unbiased NPR” spent so much time slamming conservatives, the fact that he would even consider taking money from an anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood fronted group, of the risible fact that he thinks NPR would do better without public funding. It’s a three-way tie.

“The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept. We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for. Mr. Schiller announced last week that he is leaving NPR for another job.”
I bet they’re mostly appalled by his statement that NPR would do better without public funding.

UPDATE II:
In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, James O’ Keefe said, “As far as their statement about…”we didn’t take the $5 million – we didn’t take the bait…that’s something that people are going to find more about as we move forward in the coming days”.
UPDATE: III:
Predictably, the left-wing media is characterizing the above video as “heavily edited,” suggesting fraud, even though the entire uncut video is available for viewing at O’Keefe’s website, Project Veritas.
UPDATE IV:
NPR Ousts The Other Schiller!

No matter how much lipstick the libs will slather on this hog called NPR it will still show the truly ugly face of the leftist elite.
