NPR president Vivian Schiller resigns | Poynter..

It’s imploding over there at NPR in the wake of James O’Keefe and Co’s latest caper, embarrassing two top execs of the fundraising department.

Scroll down for the video which led to all this uproar, and note that it says .. “to be continued”.

It is said that James O’Keefe targeted NPR after the firing of Juan Williams. One of his compatriots, Shaughn Adeleye was particularly irritated by that turn of events.

Inquiring minds want to know if the “to be continued” part of the video is leading to the rapid melt down.

Update.. Ron Schiller, the exec implicated in O’Keefe’s video, has given up his prospective job at the Aspen Institute, a ‘non profit research’ entity.

National Public Radio is undergoing some upheaval as senior executive Ron Schiller and Director of Institutional Giving, Betsy Liley have been featured in a video, lunching with two undercover members of the Veritas Project.
Posing as members of MEAC, a fake Muslim group funding education, (complete with phony website) two Veritas ‘agents’ proffer funding to NPR, and obtain all sorts of fun statements from the two NPR execs that would never have been offered up to the public under normal circumstances. The video ends with a “to be continued…..” so keep your eyes open for more.

Schiller, who is said to have already announced plans to leave NPR by May, has been instructed to leave earlier than originally intended by CEO Vivian Schiller (not a relative).

As Funding Cuts are being debated in Congress, NPR has quickly accumulated major Egg on its Face.
