They were going to accept money from the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD! The organization is anti-American, through and through, and should be called before Congress to justify their right to broadcast, let alone receive tax-payer funding.
I don't believe for a minute that the views expressed by Ron Schiller weren't shared by the whole organization.
No question about it. Schiller wouldn't have been so glib with his comments in front of another NPR employee, if he didn't feel quite comfortable that she held the same views (and it's obvious she did, from her own comments).
