After a video sting by James O'Keefe, Ron Shiller, the president of the NPR Foundation resigned. A day later CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation) was ousted. Ms. Shiller, who previously was vice president and general manager for the New York Times's website, fired Juan Williams over the phone last year and suggested he have his head examined.
On the video, Ron Schiller offered harsh criticism of Republicans during a fundraising lunch with two men pretending to be wealthy donors from a fake Islamic organization. Although Libs and NBC pretend otherwise, it wasn't his criticism of the tea party and conservatives, but the fact he was drumming up money from questionable donors.
