NPR anyone?

I hear O'Keefe has hidden video of the type of meeting with PBS officials.

heavily edited no doubt....

heavily edited no doubt....

That was the charge on the NPR tape so, O'Keefe posted the entire 2 hour video -- unedited -- on the Project Veritas website.

Go take a look.

They aren't CBS.

Seen it.....Schiller exposes the tea-party for what it is....a bunch of xenophobic hate-mongers.....the really funny part is wing-nut's reaction to Schiller.....

So, you undermine your own "heavily edited no doubt..." comment but still advance it anyway?

Actually, the funny part is NPR's reaction to Schiller. Unemployment.

Do you ever read anything but wing=nut news?

James O'Keefe's race problem
A photo of the righty stuntman at a white-nationalist confab illustrates a career marked by racial resentment

Now an activist organization that monitors hate groups has produced a photo of O'Keefe at a 2006 conference on "Race and Conservatism" that featured leading white nationalists. The photo, first published Jan. 30 on the Web site of the anti-racism group One People's Project, shows O’Keefe at the gathering, which was so controversial even the ultra-right Leadership Ins ute, which employed O'Keefe at the time, withdrew its backing. O'Keefe's fellow young conservative provocateur Marcus Epstein organized the event, which gave anti-Semites, professional racists and proponents of Aryanism an opportunity to share their grievances and plans to make inroads in the GOP.

Why is Yoni pimping edited videos from known racists?

Uh, the video has been posted unedited and, whatever O'Keefe's past (of which I have no knowledge and am not about to take Salon's word on) I think NPR's lack of defense for Schiller speaks volumes.

Keep trying to shift the conversation, Dan.

Since we're on the topic of media transparency, it seems the rest of the legacy media could learn a thing or two from O'Keefe...

We Call On the MSM to Adopt the ‘Rose/O’Keefe Standard of Journalistic Transparency’

With their most recent undercover video investigations, independent journalists James O'Keefe and Lila Rose have set a new standard of transparency in the field of journalism -- a standard I call on all media outlets -- print, online, and broadcast -- to adopt and to ins ute immediately. Within hours of releasing what the AP called "heavily edited" video footage of a high-powered NPR executive's troubling statements with respect to the Tea Party, conservatives, and Jewish control of the media, Mr. O'Keefe then released to the public the full, unedited two-hour video of the entire conversation. Another New Media pioneer, Lila Rose, also released the full video of her undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood.

While the biased AP apparently only whips out the term "heavily edited" when the ins utional left is under fire, it's difficult to disagree with them on principle, especially when we live in a world where on a daily basis the network nightly news programs, Jon Stewart's "Daily Show," MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, and every facet of the MSM broadcast and publishing world release reports no less "heavily edited" than Rosa and O'Keefe's initial video releasse. However, unlike Rose and O'Keefe, the mainstream media never allows the public to view the full, unedited material in order to judge the full context for ourselves.
This can and must end today. ...

Because Mr. O'Keefe and Ms. Rose have led the way in journalistic transparency and taken the first step, as a show of good faith from the MSM in accepting this offer, we call on Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric to release every frame of video involving their 2008 interviews with then Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin.

It won't happen but, that it doesn't only erodes the mainstream media's credibility more and more...

There are a lot of things these so called conservatives do that they deserve to rot in for. Least of which include going after PBS and NPR.

I'm sorry you sheep ing FOX News addicts can't deal with actual reporting or reality. You bags of feces won't dodge your eventual come-uppins. And good luck anyway. Neither network needs their hands tied by the pennies we each give them each year. So be careful what you wish for.

So, at a dollar and three cents per American, I'm sure you can band together a bunch of like-minded individuals and make up for the federal funding I hope is yanked from NPR and PBS.

I hope you rot in for being excrement. You will. And,

Some of that "new civility?"

Yeah, I understood that NPR idiot saying they didn't need the $90 Million either. I am careful and I do wish we'd yank federal funding for public broadcasting. Let it survive on your money, not mine.

NPR and PBS would be fine, financially, without Government funding.

The unfortunate thing is that without that funding, they will no longer have incentive to remain relatively politically centrist and will likely gravitate closer to being the far-left liberal bastions that conservatives who don't watch or listen to NPR/PBS are told to believe they are.

But the "marketplace" has spoken, I suppose, and we like our news to soothe our personal bias.

Without my money, they can be whatever they want. I don't consume their product now -- even though I pay for the programming.

That's because you're an idiot and a piece of who prefers the snake oil of Fox Propaganda Co. Hardly means your loser ass shouldn't be paying to keep better people than yourself entertained and truly informed. It might be, probably is, the only good thing you do for this world.

You directly benefit from a reasonable, intellectual and educated public, however dwindling that part of the population may be.

I just hope PBS doesn't sell out and become a piece of reality-show network like Discovery and The Learning Channel have become. That would leave the BBC as the only worthwhile network in the English-speaking world.

....NPR is under attack because it hasn't conformed to wing-nut expectations.....(intimidation)..... the way the corporate M$M has...so it must be destroyed...

Seen the History Channel lately? It might as well be edited by James OKeefe

I'd settle for de-funded; I'm sure they can handle their own destruction.

So, we can close the schools and just watch PBS?

Besides, if they serve that great a purpose, I'm sure there are private citizens that will be glad to make up for the lost federal funding.

Say! Why don't you pledge to pay my portion.
