...Vivian Schiller resigned as chief executive officer of National Public Radio. Im told by sources that she was forced out, NPRs media correspondent, David Folkenflik, has reported. Her sudden departure marks an abrupt end to a long-winding climb up the corporate ladder.
In 1983, Schiller graduated from Cornell University with a bachelors degree in Russian and Soviet Studies. Two years later, she earned a masters degree in Russian at Middlebury College. Her first journalism gig was translating Russian in the former Soviet Union for Turner Broadcasting. For ten years, she served as Turners vice president of development, producing many award-winning documentaries, such as Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream.
The climb continued: Between 1998 and 2002, she served as executive vice president of CNN Productions, where she helped launch People in the News and CNN Presents. Afterward, she worked as senior vice president and general manager at the Discovery Times Channel for four years. From May 2006 to December 2008, Schiller was senior vice president and general manager of the New York Times website. Finally, in January 2009, Schiller took the helm at NPR.
Once she sat atop the corporate pyramid, however, Schiller began to feel tremors below. Last October, she bungled NPRs firing of longtime analyst Juan Williams. The Fox News contributor got the boot after he admitted on The OReilly Factor, When I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, theyre identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.
Although many observers viewed NPRs actions askance how exactly did Williamss comment compromise his analysis? Schiller ridiculed his protests, saying that he should have kept his misgivings about Muslims between himself and his psychiatrist or his publicist....

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...
LOL.
Thanks.
Taken all together, I’d rather not support any of their sponsors.
Just so she knows!!
LOL!
Which is your absolute right, and with defunding, you won't be required to (except GM), free market capitalism is grand.
Definitely no Revlon endorsements in her future.
I applaud Mr. O’Keefe for his outstanding effort, he is a true patriot.
Like Acorn these Schiller subversives are far from defeated.
They are expert in establishing non profit organizations and will set up shop under a new name, engorging themselves at the tax payer trough once again!
Acorn did not go away. Right now their operatives along with the White House are setting up recall efforts against Wisconsin Republican Senators.
The fact that Vivian Schiller resigned from National Palestinian Radio (Oh really? That’s good! I like that! “ Betsy LIley ) is an indication that the next video from Mr. O’Keefe is going to be a whopper!
Get your popcorn ready.
The point is they will establish or blend seamlessly into another anti-American organization. Stay vigilant!
VOTE PALIN/WEST AND CRUSH THE LEFT !
Bump!
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!
Bump!
address = addressed
That’s their style— backstabbing, arrogant, condescending, superior, smug, vindictive and hateful.
What awful people.
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:

DEFUND NPR NOW!
Bump!!
Love that ticket PALIN/WEST!!! Wonder what Jan Brewer and Sarah were discussing when Jan vacationed in Alaska recently, might still be there!
Yes, I knew Acorn just broke up into other groups. The corruption and fraud is outrageous, let alone that satanic disciple Van Jones.
Looking forward to ZerO’s landslide loss in 2012!
CAN YOU AFFORD FOUR MORE YEARS????
