Excellent News: NPR Willing to Partner With Muslim Brotherhood to Combat Zionist Agenda Using Your Tax Dollars!

Ron Schiller, NPR's senior vice president for fundraising, just got punk'd by conservative activist James O'Keefe. A hidden camera caught Schiller baring his soul regarding Republicans, conservatives and Jews in a meeting with two men claiming to represent the fictional Muslim Action Education Center (MEAC). MEAC claimed that it was willing to donate $5 million to NPR to help its efforts to fight the mainstream media's "Zionist coverage".

Schiller's diatribes included the following gems:

— “The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian — and I wouldn't even call it Christian. It's this weird evangelical kind of move ... it's been hijacked by this group that ... "

— "It's not just Islamophobic, but really xenophobic. Basically, they believe in white, middle America, gun-toting — it's pretty scary. They're seriously racist, racist people.”

The operatives in the sting then proceed to disparage what they call Jewish control of the media, prompting Schiller to assure them that Zionist influence doesn't exist at NPR, but "it's there in those who own newspapers obviously."

Schiller laughs when one of the men jokes that NPR's reporting on the Middle East had garnered the nickname "National Palestinian Radio” while his colleague Liley chuckles: “Oh really? That's good. I like that.”

...While discussing media coverage of the political uprising in Egypt, Schiller said what he is “most disappointed by," in the United States, "is that the educated, so-called elite in this country is too small a percentage of the population, so that you have this very large uneducated part of the population that carries these [unworldly] ideas."

Oh, and there's this:

— "I think what we all believe is if we don't have Muslim voices in our schools, on the air ... it's the same thing we faced as a nation when we didn't have female voices." In the heavily edited tape, that comment followed Schiller being told by one of the men that their organization "was originally founded by a few members of the Muslim Brotherhood in America." There's no sign in the edited tape that Schiller reacted in any way after being told of the group's alleged connection to an Islamic group that appeared to be connected with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.

— That NPR "would be better off in the long run without federal funding," a position in direct conflict with the organization's official position.

Remember, though, NPR claims to be unbiased. In fact, they're so confident that they're unbiased, they've challenged Republicans to find proof of their political affiliation.

Oops.
