This one is a shocker: Vivian Schiller, the longtime head of NYTimes.com’s digital efforts, has left the company, and has joined National Public Radio as its new chief executive.

Don't these people ever just go away?

[traderrob6]

Why “a shocker”? It’s called seeking job security.

[Jackson57]

She didn’t leave NTY, she just changed offices. NPR will still be all liberal all the time, all propaganda all the time.. Not sure how that’s any different than NYT.

[razorback-bert]

Is this good news or bad?

Next, who cares?

[truthluva]

Rat’s abandon sinking ships.

[Loud Mime]

From the NYT to NPR? It seems like leaving your wife to marry her sister.

[17th Miss Regt]

She can read the tea leaves. When the NYT collapses (under the able leadership of Mr. Pinch Sulzberger) she wants to be somewhere else. But she is still a leftist pretending to be a ‘journalist’. So NPR is the logical move for her for now.

It will be fun to watch her conniption fits when the Fairness Doctrine is forced on NPR.

[Ole Okie]

And we poor slobs, the American taxpayers, get to pay part of her (undoubtedly) ridiculous salary.

Ain’t life grand?

I wasted my time reading the whole thing to try to find out the "shocker" aspect.

Still eludes me.

It was like somebody went to Lowes instead of Home Depot.

[mad_as_he$$]

Let's hope she does as well at NPR as she has done at the Slimes.

[martin_fierro]

I’m so stealing that.

It will be fun to watch her conniption fits when the Fairness Doctrine is forced on NPR.

NPR, like the NY Times, will be judged "unbiased and balanced" under the Fairness Doctrine.

Those rules are designed to monopolize the airwaves for liberal doctrine labeled "truth." Only dissent will be judged biased and silenced.

I’ve been hunting all over for Doc Raul’s pic the AP put up during the Jayson Blair thing. Do you have an archived copy?

[laweeks]

Aren’t they both in the same building? the same floor?

[bert]

It took 5 posts to get it right

NPR is in Virginia or was the last time I was there

[sportutegrl]

NPR is financed with our tax dollars. It can’t go bankrupt and lay off people.

[martin_fierro]

Nope

< |:(~

[aculeus]

She left the private sector for a safe government job.

[Doctor Raoul]

That looks like it was in NYC. Duane Reade store in the background.
