Well, well.
Vivian Schiller, CEO of NPR 'resigned' today in the wake of a scandal that saw a hidden camera recording the remarks of two of her top fund raisers in a lunch meeting with two conservative activists who posed as open members of a Muslim Brotherhood front group that had baited the trap with an offer of a $5 million donation.
Aside from harshly disparaging Christians, Tea Party members and Republicans, the two fundraisers nodded agreement at remarks about Jews running the media and giggled happily when one of the faux Muslim Brotherhood members referred to NPR as 'National Palestinian Radio.'
Schiller, of course, didn't actually resign. According to a tweet by NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik Schiller was forced out when the NPR board demanded her resignation.
It will be interesting to see if NPR gets another penny of government funding.
Even more interesting is the notion that NPR avidly pursued funding from a racist group who's website touted their aim to enforce sharia world wide. Who else has NPR accepted money from, I wonder?
I have a feeling we're going to find out.
James O'Keefe, who masterminded the sting claims he targeted NPR because of the Juan Williams firing, according to CNN.
As usual, his instincts were right on the money.

When you get down to it, there really isn't an effective left-wing presence that holds any significan¬t power in America. While this explains a disdain for liberal inaction in standing firm to it's principles¬, it also explains how conservati¬ves can step far outside their core principles and still maintain legitimacy¬. Moderate conservati¬ves are a thing of the past, and the TP movement has helped to assure that reasonable politician¬s are further pushed out of the Republican party.
