(The Daily Caller) 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. "The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian--I wouldn't even call it Christian. It's this weird evangelical kind of move," declared Schiller, the head of NPR's nonprofit foundation, who last week announced his departure for the Aspen Institute.
In a new video released Tuesday morning by consevative filmmaker James O'Keefe, Schiller and Betsy Liley, NPR's director of institutional giving, are seen meeting with two men who, unbeknowst to the NPR executives, are posing as members of a Muslim Brotherhood front group. The men, who identified themselves as Isbahim Kassam and Amir Malik from the fictitious Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust, met with Schiller and Liley at Cafe 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."
On the tapes, Schiller wastes little time before attacking conservatives. The Republican Party, Schiller says, has been "hijacked by this group." The man posing as Malik finishes the sentence by adding, "the radical, racist, Islamaphobic, Tea Party people." Schiller agrees and intensifies the criticism, saying that the Tea Party people aren't "just Islamaphobic, but really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting . I mean, it's scary. They're seriously racist, racist people." Schiller goes on to describe liberals as more intelligent and informed than conservatives. "In my personal opinion, liberals today might be more educatd, fair and balanced than conservatives," he said.
It's very disturbing that we have a Republican-controlled House that hasn't done anything to defund NPR. Last fall prior to the midterm elections Republicans supposedly mounted an effort in the House and Senate to kill off funding for NPR. Now we have a Republican-controlled House and they haven't done anything to defund this biased, communist media outlet. Schiller just revealed NPR's true colors. NPR is biased towards Israel and they despise traditional, conservative Americans. There was a man pretending to be Kasaam who suggested to Schiller that "Jews do kind of control the media or, I mean, certainly the Zionists and the people who have the interests in swaying media coverage toward a favorable direction of Israel," Schiller didn't rebut him. The man posing as Kasaam then joked that his friends refer to NPR as "National Palestinian Radio," because, according to him, NPR is the only media outlet that covers Palestinians' perspective.
NPR nor any media outlet should receive any kind of government funding. The reason being is that the media should be a watchdog upon the government. The media should be a separate entity. I agree with Bill O' Reilly when he stated that NPR should compete in the marketplace like Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC must do. The media shouldn't be an arm of the government. The media is to serve as a watchdog and warn Americans what takes places within the walls of government. The media isn't to be aligned with the government. The media isn't to serve as a lapdog, like they so often do. It's outrageous our tax dollars go toward supporting the anti-American bias from NPR. They're opposed to middle-class, white, Christian conservatives who have made America a great country. It's pathetic the Republicans in Congress don't have the gall to strip federal funding of NPR. The fact that Republicans haven't made it a priority to defund NPR is appalling.
Back last October, Juan Williams, who is a political commentator for Fox News, was fired from NPR because of the comments he made about anxiety he has toward Muslims when he boards a plane. He stated that when he's on a plane, he naturally is nervous when he sees Muslims dressed in the garb due to the hijackings that took place on 9/11. He did not express any animosity towards Muslims. He was just expressing his gut feeling when boarding an airplane. NPR's firing of Juan Williams was absolutely ridiculous. What's interesting about his firing is that Williams is no firebrand conservative. Instead, he's a liberal. He supported Barack Obama's election as the first black president in our nation's history. In spite of his liberal views, he was still fired from NPR. That shows you how left-wing NPR is. NPR is left wing and biased towards America and traditional American values. NPR needs to compete with the other traditional media outlets. If that were to happen, NPR would fold up and cease to be no more. Progressives can't afford for that to happen. That's why NPR continues to receive federal funding. NPR mirrors the views of our leftist politicians, most notably Democrats.
