Conservative hidden camera sting targets NPR (yellow journalism)
CBS News? ^ | March 8, 2011 | Brian Montopoli

Posted on 03/08/2011 12:57:00 PM PST by Ben Mugged

Conservative activist James O'Keefe, whose deceptively edited hidden camera videos have made him a star on the right, is out with a new video targeting National Public Radio executive Ron Schiller - and by extension NPR itself.

The video purports to show Schiller speaking to a pair of men posing as representatives of a phony Muslim group called seeking to give $5 million to NPR. The men tell Schiller they are affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist political movement.

It shows Schiller stating that the Republican Party and the Tea Party is "fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian - and I wouldn't even call it Christian. It's this weird evangelical kind of move."

CBS has shown its hand. They are merely frauds perpetrating pro-Muslim, pro-Marxist, pro-Gay and pro-Union agendas of their Leftist Masters, the DNC and affiliated groups who hate the US.

They are merely vermin.

“Deceptively Edited”?

Earth to CBS: Rathergate, Walter Crankcase, many 60 minutes episodes, Catie Clueless...etc, etc.

You clowns wrote the book on deception.

Even though they're so much smarter than us, it appears pretty easy to fool liberals.

portraying O’Keefe as the villain.

It's the libs playing their one-note "attack the messenger" target.

Hey should O'Keefe get a Pulitzer Prize?

As opposed to the msm who have long done far worse? Like NBC "News" (long before msnbc) rigging pickup trucks to explode for an "expose," or fraudulent reports over and over, or, in the case of CBS, using knowingly fake "evidence" to try to influence a presidential election?

It IS easy to fool liberals.

Just stroke their sense of superiority (especially over Christians), and you have them. You can get them to talk about anything, once you say something to make them feel superior.

Hey, Badger...

has anyone thought of talking about what “angle” NPR would have assumed it would have to take as “gratitude” for the $5 million donation?

O’Keefe posts his entire videos online so it hard to say he deceptively edits them.

The video more than purports to show-—it does show.

When CBS does undercover stings for 60 minutes it is groundbreaking, bold, risky, heroic, the only way to get the truth, etc. The minute someone turns the tables on them and uses the same tactics it is yellow journalism. Priceless.

It was yellow journalism when Dan Rather tried to run an October Surprise with forged documents and refused to acknowledge the shoddy work in manufacturing those documents.

News anchors are still referring to the gunman in Arizona as the “alleged” shooter. He definitely FIRED.

What is alleged is that it was premeditated murder, or an assassination plot. Was he insane, etc.

Whether he can be held “responsible” for his actions have not been established in a court of law, but he DID physically do it.

This isn’t about the money so much (the Saudis are buying a stake in numerous bits of US media) as it is an executive lashing out against “tea partiers” for xenophobia and racism while TOLERATING antisemitic outbursts from supposed muslim activists against the “zionist controlled media”.

The NPR exec is a bigot who tolerates the company of bigots while denouncing the political opposition as “bigots”. That is the scandal. All a day after NPR denied having any liberal bias.

“Conservative activist James O’Keefe, whose deceptively edited hidden camera videos have made him a star on the right”

That looks libelous to me. Hopefully O’Keefe will sue cBS.

Getting news from NPR is intellectually equivalent to getting science from Al Gore.

I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I view it as National Palestinian Radio.

But it wouldn't matter if it were any other outlet. You just cannot judge by what a salesman says when someone dangles a big sale in front of him.

Support James O’Keefe.

Project Veritas Investigates:

NPR
Mar 8 2011

Project Veritas’ latest investigation focuses on the publically-funded media organization, National Public Radio. PV investigative reporters, Shaughn Adeleye and Simon Templar posed as members of the Muslim Action Education Center, a non-existent group with a goal to “spread the acceptance of Sharia across the world.”

In this first video, produced by James O’Keefe, Shaughn and Simon sit down with NPR Foundation President Ron Schiller.
