NPR Senior VP: Zionists Don’t Control NPR Like They Control the Newspapers

Commentary Magazine ^ | 3/8/11 | Alana Goodman

[Nachum]

As if NPR needed any more problems: the news organization’s senior VP for development, Ron Schiller, was allegedly caught on film making some very unflattering remarks about Tea Partiers, Republicans, and Zionists, the Daily Caller reported this morning:

A man who appears to be a National Public Radio senior executive, Ron Schiller, has been captured on camera savaging conservatives and the Tea Party movement. …

In a new video released Tuesday morning by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe, Schiller and Betsy Liley, NPR’s director of institutional giving, are seen meeting with two men who, unbeknownst to the NPR executives, are posing as members of a Muslim Brotherhood front group. The men, who identified themselves as Ibrahim Kasaam and Amir Malik from the fictitious Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust, met with Schiller and Liley at Café Milano, a well-known Georgetown restaurant, and explained their desire to give up to $5 million to NPR because, “the Zionist coverage is quite substantial elsewhere.”

The whole video can be watched here. Schiller spoke at length about the Tea Party’s ignorance, intolerance, whiteness, gun-totingness, and so on. His comments about Republicans and the firing of Juan Williams are sure to offend as well.

Good grief....these commies would out-right kill all of us if given the chance.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Given their past history........they usually do.

I am so happy to see Schiller admit that they don’t need public funding and that they would be better off without it. LOL

I am sure his new employer is thrilled that Mr Schiller so articulately stated his values and views:

“Ron Schiller embraces and lives the values that we share as a community,” said Aspen Institute President and CEO Walter Isaacson

Read the statement below:

"The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept. We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for.

Mr. Schiller announced last week that he is leaving NPR for another job."

And here is the man who announced it:

I’m thinking we should congratulate him on hiring such an intellectually superior person.

That reminds me, I just moved and forgot to notify the administrators of the Zionist Occupied Government in advance, so could someone here let them know for me, so that I’ll get my checks and updates on what banks and media outlets we own and run now?

Thanks!

Mark

[Nachum]

Thank you for this. Amazing stuff. Not sure what it has to do with Obama directly, but I am putting up on the site for reference.

Thanks for your support.

[April Lexington]

Zionists? Oy Veh... somebody please de-fund this ship of fools.

[April Lexington]

Sure, Mark. No problem. I’ll get to it right after the Two Minute Hate...

[Vasilli22]

My email to the Aspen Institute:

I just wanted to congratulate the Aspen Institute on hiring such an intellectually superior individual. I feel safer knowing that there are people of Mr. Schiller’s caliber that can think for us and effectively take care of the uneducated, unenlightened masses.

May your relationship with Mr. Schiller be long, fruitful, and Zionist free!

Regards,

[vanilla swirl]

no hate there at all!

Since NPR says they only received 2% of their budget from tax dollars I am certain they can EASILY make do with 2% less

Are they trying to say they can’t?

[tumblindice]

Just another lefty desperately clinging to his NPR totebag and CD of John Lennon’s `Imagine.’ Nothing to see here.

Wasn’t to many years ago that MD had thought they hadn’t raised the gas tax recently so they decided they could use the extra revenue etc and raised it say 4%...not long after the raise, a ‘crisis’ - oil shortage with underground tanks full and oil tankers steaming in circles - came up.
The tax rise that was ONLY 4% was targeted by the few R’s in the MD house and they were saying the tax should be rescinded at least while the ‘crisis’ existed.

Then they were told the state couldn’t afford to drop the 4% tax...mind you NO money would be refunded and the tax would have been restored but no, that wasn’t going to happen.

Gheez!
What does it take to convince rational people that NPR and PBS MUST NEVER AGAIN be funded with taxpayer monies?

Speaking of Spiegelman, guess who he was a special assistant to earlier in his career! From the It Is a Small World file, George Soros. From the Aspen Institute web site we find: Jim Spiegelman is responsible for engaging both internal and external audiences in Institute programs and activities and serves as the organization's spokesman. Jim manages relations with the public and news media and provides strategic communications counsel to all Institute programs. His department manages the Institute’s website, produces the bi-annual magazine, The Aspen Idea, and designs and produces most of the Institute's publications. He oversees both the Washington Ideas Roundtable Series and the Alma and Joseph Gildenhorn Book Series, and helps conceive and manage the Institute's myriad public programs, including the Aspen Ideas Festival. Jim previously was a consulting editor at BusinessWeek magazine, where he designed and managed global conferences on economic, political, and business topics. He has also been chief-of-staff at the United Nations Association of the USA; an analyst for a global hedge fund; special assistant to financier/philanthropist George Soros; deputy policy director for the 1992 Presidential campaign of then-US Senator Bob Kerrey; research/program director at Georgetown University's School of Business; and a foreign affairs fellow in the Congressional Research Service at the Library of Congress. His articles have appeared in numerous publications. He received a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and an MA from the School of International Service at American University.
