If NPR is trying demonstrate in the wake of the video scandal that it embraces a diversity of viewpoints and is not the left-wing outlet it has been portrayed to be, its first move after the resignation of president and CEO Vivian Schiller isn’t a particularly good start.

One of these days, it’s gonna be enough, if it isn’t already. You can’t fool all the people all the time. And not only does the Emperor have no clothes, he’s flipping you off and wagging his pecker at you.
It wasn’t looking good for them before, but I think O’Keefe just sealed the deal. Forget the boilerplate hate, the part where he says they’d be better off without our money is gold.
