Schiller and NPR must think the tape has merit since he is no longer employed there.

I think the tape is best seen as the mindset of the looney left, attacking good Christian Americans while soliciting donations from fundamentalist Muslims.

Yeah, this link you provide makes my point.

It's clear O'Keefe didn't dress as a pimp when he visited the ACORN offices. And he did all he could to make it appear he did dress as a pimp.

The guy is a big self promoting publicity hound and doesn't have my respect.

But the MediaMatters article you provided is very flawed. They are great at searching the media and producing tons of quotes which they cut and paste, but then they fall apart in logic by using their quotes to support their very biased views (humm, seems like what happens in this forum a lot on the other side of the political spectrum).

I'm amazed at how long that MediaMatters article is. The author is quite a writer! But he really only makes one point in the entire article. O'Keefe didn't really dress as a pimp. OK, I get it. He author could of just written a paragraph to make that point.

The problem is, there are videos showing what the ACORN employees said. MediaMatters trys to suggest that because he wasn't really dressed as a pimp, that somehow the videos didn't happen or were all faked. And that's where all logic falls apart.

If the videos were faked, why didn't ACORN say so and why did they fire their "innocent" employees? The guy they hired to do a self investigation of ACORN was highly critical of them too. The article says he found some overdubbing, but didn't elaborate. If that really happened, maybe they'd have a strong point which might even convince me. But they offer no evidence. All they can say is he didn't dress as a pimp, over and over again.

Now, back to NPR. They have condemmed what Ron Schiller said. He was going to resign before all this happened, but now he's rushed his resignation. And now Vivian Schiller (no relation) of NPR has resigned too.

If the videos didn't happen, or were faked with an actor or overdubbing, why would they resign? And I'm not even sure why Vivian Schiller resigned because she wasn't even in the videos released so far. Maybe she's in other videos, but I don't know.

Looks like NPR has decided they need to make a change, CEO Schiller, not related to the NPR fundraiser has just resigned too.
CEO Schiller is the one who fired Juan Williams.

NPR is one of the most biased groups in the "news" business - anyone who watches knows they are rabid advocates for socialism and communism. Amy Goodman and her "communism now" show aka "democracy now" never have ANY counter opinion to the ultra lefist agenda that they are trying to spread.

I don't want ANY of my money going to support their activities - I don't care if they only get a few of my dollars, I want the amount to be reduced to ZERO. NPR and public television constantly asks for my dollars, and even airs shows that I enjoy from time to time, but I will not support the shows I do like, because the business they are in is a left wing socialist agenda.

NPR wonders why their ratings are stagnent - and their viewers fewer and fewer. It's because of their hatred of America and all she stands for. Many left of center friends of mine even acknowlege this.

Every public dollar should be removed from their budget. I don't need an undercover reporter to sneak around and film the bias these people have - I don't need them to show me what I already know, but good for them anyway. I hope more folks get the picture now.

Channel 12 here in Denver shows the three main news shows everyday (so called news programs) as "Democracy Now" from NPR - Al Jazeera English - and RT (Russian TV). All these are produced by groups who dislike America.

Where is the balance? - Nowhere to be found.

Fox News.

I believe they reach a larger audience than CNN, MSNBC, Democracy Now, Al Jazeera, and RT combined. Not that I'm endorsing anyone's bias.

I am amused by the people who think Fox is 100% lies while believing that Media Matters is credible.

Fox News and CNN and msnbc do not collect my tax dollars to fund their programming - so I have no problem with the way they operate. If you use taxpayer dollars a balanced view is a responsibility they owe to the public.

NPR is full of leftist lies - and the trash they call news should be completely defunded of taxpayer dollars - these communists should be able to fund themselves without any help from me.

I like to stay objective and that requires not succumbing to generalities.

It would be helpful for me for people to post actual examples to back up their personal observations. I've found many people's "observations" colored by their own biases.

That's what I thought.
