NPR CEO Schiller ousted by conservative video sting
Wednesday, March 9, 2011
CHICAGO, March 8, 2011 — NPR executive Tom Schiller was the first to go. Today, amid an embarassing video firestorm, NPR CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation) has just been fired. Ousted. Canned. Or if you prefer, the kindler, gentler euphemism, NPR’s Board of Directors accepted Schiller’s resignation.
The video sting, orchestrated by James O’Keefe’s Veritas Project, reveals the comments of NPR senior executive Ron Schiller during a luncheon meeting with conservative activists posing undercover as two members of a fictitious Muslim organization intent on donating $5 million.
