This sort of thing? >> i already have doubts in my mind. but it raises some more doubts. obviously, hes trying to distort it, distort the message, get ron schiller to say things that he doesnt at least mean. look, this is about politics, not journalism. just as frankly the reaction at npr was about politics and not journalism. the board decided to throw vivian schiller under the bus, as a reaction for this. i think thats because they and their member stations are paralyzed about losing their fun...

Blaze for showing that even the full video was -- >> lets play that for our viewers. >> james okeefe is not a reporter. the design was political, and he wasnt right about the public funding. the whole video shows that npr, first of all, doesnt get direct funding from the government. this is about public radio stations. they are the ones that would be hurt. they are the ones that get the money directly. so to say that npr doesnt need it, that may be one way of looking at it from nprs point of vie...
