Vivian Schiller to Discuss the Future of Public Radio, March 7 at National Press Club

WASHINGTON, March 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As NPR celebrates its 40th anniversary, the number of people listening to NPR member stations is at an all-time high, and the audience for NPR's digital services is sky-rocketing.

During a luncheon speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on March 7, NPR chief executive Vivian Schiller will explain why the media organization's popularity is growing.

Schiller started her NPR career two years ago – a time when the U.S. economy was plunging. The media organization's corporate underwriting was shriveling and its stock investments tumbling. Schiller was being introduced to the staff just as NPR was laying off workers, eliminating programs, reducing salaries and slashing travel budgets.

But even in those hard times, Schiller pushed for innovation and excellence, especially in the digital world.

Today, NPR has stabilized financially, and is flourishing both on the air and in the mobile and digital space. Under her leadership, NPR has continued to haul in top awards for journalistic excellence. But Schiller and public broadcasting as a whole now face a new and serious challenge given the effort to eliminate federal funding for public radio and television....

What a difference a day can make.

[scooby321]

She loves Communism.

[Cheetahcat]

The Marxist skank can go work for the Castro brothers.

[howlinhound]

Let the door hit her ass on the way out.

[bwc2221]

Don’t know where Vivian Schiller will make big bucks now. It won’t be in a “think tank” or on a stripper pole.

[moovova]

NPR is just cleaning house a tee-tiny, wee-little bit so thay can say “See, we care! We just got rid of those evil racist, bigoted execs that were bringing us down. So, can we have some more gubment money now?”

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

She’ll get a high paying job offer in some other leftist rag.

[oneolcop]

I doubt that she was fired for her political beliefs. She was fired for failing to protect NPR’s true nature from exposure to the light of truth.

[bigbob]

call me a meanie, but I just love it when these elitists get by with their lies and BS only to have it all come back to bite them in the butt later.

She showed us who she really was in the Juan Williams deal, but lied her way out of it...until now.

[Tzimisce]

10% of this nation is unemployed - and this woman will have a job in 2 weeks or less. :(

[Navy Patriot]

An attempt at damage control, contact your US Senators and Representatives now, and demand defunding.

Any good content on NPR can easily attract private support (advertisers), the leftist un American crap will do as well as Err America.

[tina07]

Yay to James O’Keefe!!! Keep up the great work!

[Safetgiver]

Guilty. As Hell.

[YHAOS]

"“I’m told by sources that she was forced out,” NPR’s media correspondent, David Folkenflik, has reported."

Oh! Say it isn't so, Fluffy. Hoo wooda thunk it?

[martin_fierro]

Ликование!

(Schadenfreude)

[Sicon]

Not surprisingly, Yahoo! offered a considerably more flattering picture of Schiller. I saw the Yahoo! pic first and thought, "Hey, here's at least one liberal woman who isn't a *complete* train wreck."

But no, the pic on NRO is much more as I expected... looking tired, unhealthy, and miserable. She happens to be wearing the same necklace in both photos, or else I would not be sure I was looking at the same individual...

[The Toll]

I’ll admit it. I hate these people. We are not of the same people. We are not of the same nation. I want them all gone and gone for good. I want to live in a world where I am not forced to look at their filthy lying faces. I want them gone, and I want my country back!

[CamofCTUSA]

Shiller is just the tip of the iceberg of liberal bias at NPR. The directors and trustees lurking in the depths will just replace her with a Marxist clone. Here’s a link to NPR Governance:
