(who train journalists about how to use the service, for example)This is the sorry state of News.
Is the NYT too afraid to expound on the details of that little event that I certainly recall? You be the judge: (from https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/vivian-schiller-npr-ceo-resigns-aftermath-james-o-keefe-hidden-camera-video-article-1.120657
Vivian Schiller, the CEO of NPR, resigned Wednesday, a day after an undercover video showed another NPR exec calling Tea Partyers "racist."
Schiller's resignation was accepted with "understanding, genuine regret and great respect for her leadership of NPR these past two years," Dave Edwards, the chairman of NPR's board of directors, said in a statement.
No reason was given for Schiller's departure in the statement. But the media oulet's board chairman, Dave Edwards, told NPR's David Folkenflik that she was forced out.
Edwards said although Schiller wasn't personally responsible for all of the mistakes, "the CEO of any organization is accountable for all of the operations of that organization...We determined that it was the wise move for us to accept her resignation and move on."
In the sting video, NPR's former fund-raising chief Ron Schiller (who is no relation to Vivian Schiller) was caught on camera slamming conservatives and the Tea Party movement. He also said the news outlet would be better off without federal funding.
The video was a project by conservative activist James O'Keefe, who gained notoriety after he tarnished ACORN's reputation in a series of secretly recorded videos in 2009. The latest video shows Ron Schiller meeting with two actors hired to act like Islamic philanthropists.
Vivian who?
