I find it ironic that many if not all of those whining about "creative editing" are supporters of Michael Moore. lol

So Breitbart claims. Even if he didn't, he clearly didn't care enough to find the context. Same with O'Keefe. He goes on Fox News dressed in a pimp suit, and doesn't correct hosts who falsely state that that's how he was dressed when going into ACORN offices.

I'm just saying that even though he's on "your side" O'Keefe is not a trustworthy character. Take any of his video with a metric ton of salt.

Go ahead, stick your head in the sand. Hide from the truth. Love it. Live it. But the TRUTH will always trump lies, and he is EXPOSING those lies.

And I don't FOR ONE MINUTE believe that your are opposed to NPR's lies. Moderators, once again go ahead and give me a "demerit," I expect that.

No political affiliation my behind. You are, IMO, totally in bed with the NPR and their anti-American agenda.
I've never heard NPR express any anti-American sentiments nor lie about anything. You just hear what you want to hear to suit your own agenda. Bipartisanship is the problem with this country. Turns everyone into a bunch of followers and separatists. Divisive behavior is what is truly anti-American.

I wonder what lies O'Keefe exposed. All he did was expose some guy's opinions. Big whoop. There was no big NPR conspiracy, no NPR lies - and absolutely nothing he shows in the videos prove that there is. O'Keefe is a known felon and pervert, will be a matter of time before he exposes himself.

He could choose to use ethical journalism reporting standards (even undercover) but he really stoops down to a criminal, sensationalist level. If some Republican oriented journalist did a good job of reporting something factually, I would be more than receptive.

Any this is fomented by our great uniter in office. No anti American sentiments? Try watching AND listening to the presentations by The Annenberg Project. Watch and read the credits to see who funds NPR shows and specials. Do so objectively and you'll come to a realization like so many already have.

If no lies were told, why did the guy resign? He should have been proud to sit and have dinner with someone buying his influence. You missed the point exactly.

Now you've become one you rail against. Proof would be nice.

As could the left wing liberal biased talking heads that DOMINATE America's newsprint and media.

Read 'BIAS' and 'ARROGANCE' by Bernard Goldberg. Excellent books and vision.

This comes back to my original point in this thread.

So how does Julian Assange and Bradley Manning get a pass exposing 'truth' and others do not?

I don't even like NPR for the most part so I have no interest in them either way. All I know is that this guy has a closed agenda and isn't interested in real journalism.

I have no political affiliation so don't make it about bipartisanship.


This is ALL about NPR or do you think we are to believe Schiller never expressed his personal opinions at NPR but would express his personal opinions to total strangers at the mention of a dollar?

O'Keefe is a hero exposing these bigots. I cannot wait until he drops some more bombs on the not so intellectual left. Defund NPR!

ACORN is not gone, the did like the Progressives did after WW-II. They just changed their label. ACORN is alive and well, under a different name.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. Have you noticed the mainstream media is spinning this as a tea party story instead of NPR guy meets with (who he thinks are) Muslim Brotherhood and claims Jews overly influence print media?
