NBC just reported that the CEO of NPR and the Fundraiser seen in the video were just fired. The reason was the "unbelievable racist comments". That's not what I heard. Do you have a source for that?

Can't you read? NBC news just reported it. PBS is reporting it now. What source are you listening to? |

I didn't see anything about" unbelievable racist comments". Or were you just adding a little spice for dramatic effect?

I didn't see anything about" unbelievable racist comments". Or were you just adding a little spice for dramatic effect? I was quoting the newscaster. Where is the site you quoted that says it did happen or were you just making crap up? |

I see. Under no condition will you quote "... what I heard" meaning that you simply made it up. It is widely reported all over the news and net so there is no chance that you have any sources at all. You just made up what you want the truth to be and now are struggling to change the subject as fast as you can to redirect attention. Pathetic. |

I confess. I was trying to flush you out. It would make no sense to characterize Schiller's comments as "unbelievable racist", especially since he didn't say anything that isn't likely true. I don't believe you heard what you say you heard.

It should also be noted that Ron Schiller's job was to raise funds, not to determine editorial policy. The fact that Schiller considers the Tea Party to be rascist (not without some evidence), has nothing whatsoever to do with NPR editorial policy.
Just watched the NBC report on this. No mention of Schiller having made "unbelievable rascist" comments. That's because he didn't. |

I think that Ron Schiller left in order to save NPR any further embarrassment. It was an easy decision for him, since he was already going to another job at the Aspen Institute. why CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation) resigned, I have no idea.

NBC news comes up in a half hour. I'll listen and judge for myself. keep in mind NBC newscasters cant tell us why NPR fires someone this is sort of a problem in my mind, that people are so quick to take newscasters personal interpretations as FACTS,,, here is what the NPR spokesperson said 'Hi there. Certainly he wasn't fired for harboring negative views about conservatives. it was the unprofessional manner that cost him his job. Who blabs to total strangers in public about their personal biases? Who doesn't vet a prospective donor before meeting. PBS got the same offer and turned it down.' it was about the 'unprofessionalism' not the statements read more here http://live.washingtonpost.com/npr-ombudsman.html |

NPR JUST LOST MY RESPECT!!! ****************************************** One person does wrong and the whole group is bad? Is that how it works for you? OK, lets put this into perspective. Who carries the load of responsibility? The man acting on his own or the man acting on behalf of a group or organization? Now if the man working for an organization is a person of command that organization means that person sets the tone for the organization. It is one thing to have a liberal bend and belief and to claim that you (referring to that organization) claims to be fair and balanced BUT behind the scenes takes a side complete to the left OR right means that organization is tainted in their centrism towards the left or right. We are talking about the man in charge or at least the one who wears the largest set of head feathers in their tribe. Fair and balanced is not taking sides. Fair and balanced is not harboring resentment towards the GOP or DNC. Fair and Balanced is not, IS NOT pretending to be unbiased yet being biased "off camera." When an organization seeks money from strictly Liberal causes, or takes money willingly from a group (and the real "Islamic Brotherhood" is an organization under close scrutiny right now for direct ties to terrorism abroad) of QUESTIONABLE intent and means and will willingly promote beliefs and ideals and foreign laws that are totally and wholly unconstitutional makes NPR a despicable organization! These are the same people running our country the way NPR acts. They seem to mirror our public officials in scary ways. Sorry but the woman with MISTER Schiller didn't seem to correct her boy's choice of words. And Mister Schiller speaking "Off the Record" (cough cough) sure sounds like he harbors some deep resentment. Gun Toting Whites? What did he mean by that exactly? So where are you liberals getting your eye wear? Likewise when was the last time you got a hearing exam? Frank Zappa made numerous Jokes about Overeducated Shitteheads. Take Thingfish for example. You act like you know everything, ignore what does not appease your sensibilities, and piss on the shoes of those who disagree with you with snotty one liners and biased proof of your own. So how biased is the Associated Press? It is so easy to bag on Fox News yet you likewise piss all over Yahoo News who gets their stuff from Reuters, AP, and other, NON BIASED sources but that is not good enough for you. This is a liberal to the core!!!  Well, actually this is more what I was thinking...  The fact is that at least I know what will not work and I also can smell BS from a mile away. NPR smells worst than the 5 miles of Coalinga driving on I-5 in sunny California. When they clean up their act I will not despise them but for now they lost my respect having people like Mr. Schiller among them! If they had ANY pride in themselves they would make him quit or fire him. That I would find respectable! So how do you like me now???  sounds like pooey from what he said to what he didnt say,, what a shift he was at a PRIVATE gathering having a PRIVATE discussion and gave his PERSONAL opinion on a few things after being LEAD to do so by his HOSTS he was gracious enough not to sit and argue and to focus on what HE believed without being offensive,, thats a terrible thing? QUOTE me one thing he said that was NOT true or that belittled anyone PERSONALLY? explain why other news sources, like fox or msnbc or anyone else can throw around labels like LIBERAL and CONSERVATIVE and paint them all with one brush and its truthful reporting, but what this person said (of, arguably DIDNT SAY) about israel dominance in media or tea party gun loving white citizens makes him scum? seems like some dish alot better than they recieve, but thats the nature of the beast people will have personal opinions, so what, he wasnt offensive , he didnt lie (are there not tea party members who are gun toting white people) He said he DIDNT see partialism at NPR, he said there were certain types HIJACKING the republican party there is no evidence that he neglects either SIDE of the debate as NPR consistently has representatives from AT least two sides of any issue and the fact that he is immediately stepping down, lends to NPRS credibility more than it takes from it no organization can pretend to know the PERSONAL and PRIVATE thoughts and opinions of their employees and to expect them to is about the biggest infringement on privacy I can think of if he does his job, WITHOUT neglecting his personal contract with his employer, than HE should be held accountable for THAT, not what he happens to believe or not believe didnt a certain politician say 'I dont agree with what you say but defend to the death your right to say it?' what happened to defending peoples right to their personal beliefs and judging them on their JOB performance and treatment of others I guess that standard should make us untrusting of police as well, cause there are plenty of those who slip up and disclose some pretty Jacked up personal beliefs or we should not trust politicians, because some of them do the same in fact, IM sure the same people obsessing over this less than nothing conversation are the very hyper paranoids who dont trust ANY politican or ANY police officer good grief, if people would only pull the thorn from their own eyes,,, Gee, what incredible spin. NBC just reported that the CEO of NPR and the Fundraiser seen in the video were just fired. The reason was the "unbelievable racist comments". reason given by whom? the NBC newscaster or NPR? |

That was a great citation. It clears up a lot.
By the way, why are we seeing this picture of the woman with her hand on a guy's crotch?I never understood what this was supposed to be telling us about NPR. |

This video shouldn't surprise anyone who actually looks at NPR's reporting objectively. NPR is left of left to the extreme. I have heard opinions I haven't liked there but it's not the station's opinion. the station is simply a vehicle for ANYONE to express ANY opinion that really is what democracy & freedom means I don't think of NPR as being leftist but then I grew up in a small east coast college town - NPR was pretty normal to us |

NPR is left of left to the extreme. We liberals have never understood where the righties get the notion of a "liberal" media. The only thing I can figure is that any time a source tells us abut news that reflects badly on Conservatives, then it must be"liberal".I guess that they are expected to report an equal amount of news that reflects badly on liberals. They aren't supposed to be making the news up, are they? That's what Faux News is for.

I have to say , I love ya Art..lol but my mom raised us, as IM sure yours did, not to be 'lazy' thinkers,, just falling in with the group,,,and not thinking in a logical order of things and it seems logical that networks would lean LIBERAL,, why? because LIBERAL thinking is closer to the type of thinking that INCLUDES Everyone , than conservative thinking is considered to be there is much more profit in attracting EVERYONES money, than just a select few,,,so from a business standpoint, It makes sense for those trying to make money to do so with more LIBERAL activity |
