The fallout from the undercover video of NPR executives began with NPR’s response and now Mediaite has learned that NPR is soon to release the following statement:

Schiller’s expected response:

“While the meeting I participated in turned out to be a ruse, I made statements during the course of the meeting that are counter to NPR’s values and also not reflective of my own beliefs. I offer my sincere apology to those I offended. I previously resigned from NPR effective May 6th to accept another job. In an effort to put this unfortunate matter behind us, NPR and I have agreed that my resignation is effective today.”

>> I made statements... that are counter to NPR’s values

BS. Your statements were 100% representative of NPR’s questionable values.

>> and also not reflective of my own beliefs

BALD FACED LIE.

I made statements during the course of the meeting that are counter to NPR’s values and also not reflective of my own beliefs.

So... he lied on camera in the "interview"... or he's lying now... "not reflective of my own beliefs..." who does he think he's kidding?

[youngidiot]

Least you could do, douche nozzle. But I’m not vying the idea that your views are somehow out of place at NPR.

...and also not reflective of my own beliefs.

Another Democrat lying to his diary...

“...not reflective of my own beliefs” ?? Did someone hold a gun to his head? Was he under the influence of drugs? What a hypocritical coward...typical lib.

[Steely Tom]

I lied to my diary.

“That is not the Ron Schiller I know,” Mr. Schiller insisted.

Another Democrat lying to his diary...

You beat me by 0:15. Arrgh.

[tubebender]

May this expose also turn off a few fat donors to NPR et al...

It appears as though Mrs. Schitter’s little Ronny is not quite the “intellectual” he is claiming to be. I’m not an “intellectual” like Ronny but I’ve still got a job to go to tomorrow. Ronny is an unemployed dumbass with a big mouth.

I think Mr. Schiller has already got a cushy job lined up with some art institute.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

In OTHER words......he was ‘quituated’. LMAO!

That’s a term my family and I use. We’re from a family biz and that is the term we use to describe someone who was FIRED......but diplomatically to save face. *snort*

[kittymyrib]

Schiller expressed his damning moral standards very convincingly. Why should we believe anything he says now?

[okie01]

I made statements during the course of the meeting that are counter to NPR’s values and also not reflective of my own beliefs.

You've got to wonder. If his words were "counter to NPR's values" and "not reflective of my own beliefs"...then why the hell did he say them?

No question, that 'narcissism' is an embedded quality in Liberalism. (Or is it 'chicken/egg'. . .) Whatever; no escaping it and certainly not here in Schiller's 'self' controlled/ordained firing per his self-reporting; and his assuring us of his 'value' per another job waiting.

[Driving his kids to school, maybe? His wife to work - or to school; maybe earning that PHD she postponed?) Perhaps; his dog needs a ride to school? (Even their dogs are smarter than we are.) Or, maybe Schiller needs to finish that special project he has been working on.]

Narcissistic Liberal? Let us count the 'I's. . .and inhale the fumes of Lib arrogance.

Is that like lying to your diary?

[kalee]

Who does he think he’s kidding? Congre$$ or so he hopes.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Or he could be a ballerina or Geisha girl.
