House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican, ripped National Public Radio (NPR) on Tuesday after NPR foundation’s nonprofit president Ron Schiller was caught on video saying the radio network and most of its member stations would survive without federal funding.
“As we continue to identify ways to cut spending and save valuable resources, this disturbing video makes clear that taxpayer dollars should no longer be appropriated to NPR,” Cantor said in an e-mail to TheDC. “Not only have top public broadcasting executives finally admitted that they do not need taxpayer dollars to survive, it is also clear that without federal funds, public broadcasting stations self-admittedly would become eligible for more private dollars on top of the multi-million dollar donations these organizations already receive.

I have a real live crush on his former partner, Hannah.
Underreported story of the decade....
One lone guy with a video camera takes down ACORN and NPR!
No, no Bill....he's an Intellectual, says so himself......we're the morons. Hehehe. Apparently he should spend less time in the gay chat rooms and more time on muslim studies........
Control of what?? I don't see any.
So, how much anyone want to bet that after the dust settles, NPR remains on a parasite on the Federal dole? Sigh.
“There is none.”
The control is there in that NPR understands they are always under scrutiny from people in Congress and the taxpayers too.
without that scrutiny and with the existing network of stations they could become an Al Jazeera/ muslim creating american bashing network. They could recruit and call for Jihad all over the country.

I don’t think they will. And a “sigh” is as bad as a whine or a whimper. Buck up!!!!
;-)
Oh BS......they start calling for jihad and they'll be shutdown instantly......
Looked it up. Yep. Nina Burleigh.
Let me put this another way....NPR is arrogant because they have government funding....take away that funding and the libs have to compete......libs don't like that.
most people with a brain KNOW that the baggers are radical wack jobs who have a serious racism problem.
This guy left out the "white trash" label most of his type at the NY Times are using today. But the point is the same one they all make. Every single one of them Tea Baggers are racist. The irony of declaring a large group of diverse people bigots, and in the process demonstrating your own rank bigotry, never seems to occur to these people.
Laura Ingraham reported today that our tax dollars are paying the top dog at NPR a $600,000 salary!
I'd rather they be under the scrutiny of the market.
So did Jimmy pose as Muslim donors to get the video?
Wow great Idea....
Support James O’Keefe.
