O’Keefe: More Controversial NPR Videos to Come
Newsmax ^ | 3/9/2011 | David A. Patten

Posted on 03/09/2011 12:23:17 PM PST by chickadee

There’s more video where that came from, says James O’Keefe, the muckraking activist behind TheProjectVeritas.org. The controversial video-sting impresario tells Newsmax that he’s prepared to release yet more embarrassing revelations about NPR, but first he wants to gauge NPR’s reaction to the bomb he dropped Tuesday.

In an exclusive Newsmax interview, O’Keefe says he’s waiting to see whether NPR comes clean “about what is going on” before he doles out more video.

I'm going to quote from the wiki article as I had trouble with following the link. I was able to access it from google.

===========================
A muckraker is, primarily, a reporter or writer who investigates and publishes truthful reports involving a host of social issues, broadly including crime and corruption and often involving elected officials, political leaders and influential members of business and industry. The term is closely associated with a number of important writers who emerged in the 1890s through the 1930s, a period roughly concurrent with the Progressive Era in the United States.

Muckraker is NOT a pejorative term. It is actually a good thing...............

@ #42

I’m not sure what you are replying to - but if it is what more O’Keefe might have on NPR . . . Big Bird works for PBS.

O’Keefe spent about $2,000 for the NPR sting. Michael Savage is sending a contribution.

PBS and NPR have got to go. Do toddlers really need Elmo and Big Bird when the preschool "teachers" are taking them straight to homosexuality, masturbation and condoms? I can see having a Rudy the Rubber Show but Sesame Street? I don't think so!

I'm guessing old Vivian Schiller knows that. chuckle

I would love to have heard her phone call to the board, "I was talking to a couple possible Arab donors back in Feburary too, and I kind of told them everything. There's probably a tape of me in the wings, too."

They're probably scrambling to find anybody who's talked to anybody so they can do damage control ahead of the release of any more videos.

When you control the media, time is your friend. It gives you time to demonize your enemies and get lawyers to silence them.

It looks like PBS’ senior vice president for development, Brian Reddington,will be on his next tape to be released.

I said this on another thread. O’Keefe understands that the arrogance of the liberal elite can be used against them, as can the ignorance of their foot soldiers.
