Reply #11: I posed that precise question to NPR [View All]

[gratuitous]

They were, after all, the folks victimized by the lastest fabrication out of O'Keefe's Lie Factory. I got a canned corporate response to the effect that "NPR and the fundraiser {they didn't even have the nerve to name Ron Schiller} have mutually agreed to terminate their professional relationship." Yeah, I know; but that's not the question I asked.

How many times will the Villagers come a-runnin' when this little boy cries "Wolf"? In my e-mail I gave NPR a quick recap of O'Keefe's lying shenanigans. It's like they didn't want to know. They had a juicy story, or they were afraid of being scooped, and they rushed on the air with all the breathless details. Where does Ron Schiller go to retrieve his reputation? How does ACORN go about re-establishing its mission? What penalties have been exacted on this serial liar, and why is he still walking around free after attempting to tamper with the phone system of a U.S. Senator during war time? In the last 10 years, people have paid a higher price for having the wrong bumper sticker on their car, or for turning their backs on a speaker.
