Outgoing NPR executive Ron Schiller
slams Republicans and the tea party movement and suggests that NPR
would be better off without any federal funding in a hidden-camera
video released Tuesday by conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe.
Schiller, president of the NPR Foundation and a senior vice president for development until just last week,
appears on the tape at Georgetown's Café Milano with NPR director of
institutional giving Betsy Liley and two men--Shaughn Adeleye and Simon
Templar--posing as executives from a fake Islamic organization
considering a $5 million donation to the network.
