Top NPR executives lost their jobs because of this. And NPR is trying to make hay out of the idea that the tapes were edited? Well, why’d you let the executives go then?
This dope wouldn’t have known about O’Keefe’s “inappropriate” edits if O’Keefe hadn’t ALSO posted the unedited film - which anyone can also see. So what is he complaining about?
RE: Well, why’d you let the executives go then?
It’s like a dying villain wanting to take a parting shot at the man who killed him.
NPR is in effect trying to tell the world that this journalist is not that honest and objective and that anything he reports from hereon should be treated as suspect ( AKA, INACCURATE and FALSE until absolutely proven otherwise ).
They no longer have to worry about getting caught with their hand in the proverbial cookie jar, thanks to a leftist media that wants to believe.
But its ok for 60 Minutes to edit the snot out of their interviews. Sheesh, give me a break. The MSM PO’d for being victimized by one of their own tricks. I weep for you NPR, really I do, can you feel my grief? No? That is because I edited it out.
Just more tut-tut’s from the National Tut-tut folks...
O’Keefe has already said he’s got more on NPR. He’s been holding back because he wants to judge their reaction to what has been made public.
It sounds to me like NPR management needs to remember the First Law of Holes.

Especially since the full tapes were posted at the same time as the edited tape.
Beck was talking about this on his radio show this morning.
Apparently, he is the one who ‘exposed’ the “out of context” video and was saying that all of the Liberals were giving him accolades for it!
“Egregious”
When saying something bad about a leftist, use a word that only 15% of the electorate understands, eh?
Beck, today, also mentioned that the sting did not meet his standards, and thus he won’t comment on it.
But the bottom line, still, is that these execs said what they said, and it still shows what’s in their minds.
Was PBS willing to work with a group associated with the Muslim Brotherhood or not.
Did PBS bash Jews, Christians, conservatives and member of the Tea Party?
The answers to those questions are ALL I need to know...
Even if you believe this, which I don’t, it says something about NPR to think they fired executives before getting all the information.
So, when 60 minutes was editing people into career oblivion, that was OK.
Does the brass at NPR REALLY want to play the “Inappropriately Edited Sound Bite” game??
Be careful what you wish for...
