1:55

most conservative see public broadcasting

1:57

as a leftwing operation

2:01

public broadcasting is required to have

2:04

political balance on controversial

2:06

issues with the political bias

2:08

of npr and pbs seem

2:10

to find it's way into their shows

2:12

perhaps one cspan color put it best

2:15

in two thousand and fourteen when chastising

2:17

ahead executive of the public broadcasting

2:19

industry said non political

2:21

shows are great all the political

2:23

shows you have them are far

2:25

left wing almost every one

2:28

covers three subjects global

2:30

warming racism and homosexuality

2:33

stuff given it's obviously tween

2:35

bias looking conservatives due

2:37

to six

2:42

i'm and i need ran

2:44

point has

2:45

and this is redfield america storytelling

2:49

this

2:50

is not another talk show covering today's

2:52

news we are all about telling

2:54

story stories hollywood does

2:56

want to hear

2:57

tories the media mocks stories

2:59

that everyday americans as global a signal

3:02

the you could think

3:04

of red killed america as audio and

3:07

we promised me

3:15

welcome to red pills america

3:26

no one can deny that public that casting

3:28

puts out some high quality content

3:31

from npr shows like this american nice

3:33

to pbs is series frontline some

3:36

of the country's best produce documentaries

3:38

come from the public broadcasting networks

3:40

but to many on the right he goes without

3:43

saying that the entire ecosystem

3:45

as left wing slant can

3:47

, be done to six miss problem

3:50

problem find the answers we tell the story of

3:52

one of them pr biggest controversies

3:54

and take a journey to the origin of public

3:56

broadcast real speak

3:58

to my consumers senior fellow

4:00

at the heritage foundation and an expert

4:02

on public broadcasting npr

4:05

and pbs have long been the bane

4:07

of conservatives and maybe the movement

4:09

needs to seek out the box on how

4:11

to fix the problem

4:20

the

4:20

way to summer of two thousand and ten when

4:22

a debate began to rage in lower manhattan

4:37

a new york city developer was approved

4:40

to building islamic mosque just

4:42

two blocks from ground zero the

4:44

developer called it the cordoba house and

4:46

when news of project spread throughout the area

4:49

a town hall meeting with organized to address

4:51

the communities concerns supporters

4:54

and opponents of development predictably

4:56

clashed over the project

5:00

i heard , homicide

5:02

social affairs

5:08

national public radio for npr

5:11

covered the building controversy in the way

5:13

they often do sending an unbiased

5:15

perspective on the hot button topic

5:17

i'm michelle martin indices tell me more from

5:19

npr news today we want to talk

5:21

about building their proposed islamic center

5:23

of couple of blocks

5:25

ground zero so just make it clear the center

5:27

in new york has already been approved and the issue

5:29

now is whether another building should receive

5:31

special landmark preservation status which

5:33

would mean it's the thirties rebel and could be torn down

5:35

but dissenters likely to move forward

5:37

regardless the

5:38

show martin a long time journalists

5:40

for national public radio was executing

5:42

npr his patented approach to

5:44

covering the news that is she

5:47

played the role of the neutral host while

5:49

her equally impartial liberal leaning guess

5:51

delivered an opinion on the matter the fact

5:53

is

5:53

lot of people who are still very angry about it maybe they

5:55

just found out about it would steps would you

5:57

take to address bc we

6:00

have to get to larger conversations

6:02

about people's aspirations for their communities

6:05

not their fears and and preconceived

6:07

notions and and maybe their prejudices sarah

6:09

palin the us former vice presidential candidates

6:12

sent series of twitter posts on sunday

6:14

asking the muslims as a to move

6:16

away from the site is interest feeling

6:18

i mean see suggesting that people may have

6:20

right to build site there but space it makes

6:22

a gesture to the larger community

6:24

is as she put in the interests of healing would he make

6:26

that argument well you know

6:28

this know this is your segment answer is right

6:30

and and forgiveness i'm actually

6:32

often begins with those who have been

6:35

or proceed to be wrong to suffer or

6:37

not those who have asked

6:40

in other words it was the responsibility

6:42

of americans like sarah palin to roll

6:44

over on the issue mosque at ground

6:46

zero

6:51

over the decade npr

6:53

has developed a masterful way of camouflaging

6:56

their bias a technique that most

6:58

honest right leaning listeners can identify

7:01

namely the public radio network

7:03

cherry picks facts to lead the audience

7:05

towards the world view of npr

7:07

liberal staff one thing think has been

7:09

lost in all this is that there are many

7:11

muslims who lost their lives on nine eleven

7:13

photo personal trainer center wealth the world

7:15

trade center boat and that at the pentagon that they're

7:18

people of the muslim faith who lost their

7:19

the as the summer of twenty ten progressed

7:22

the ground zero mosque debate just

7:24

wouldn't go away and he was to be expected

7:27

the

7:27

country with in the midst of midterm election

7:29

cycle and the issue created clear

7:31

contrast for voters a contrast

7:33

it became even more stark when then

7:35

president obama entered the fray

7:37

i understand emotions that this issue

7:40

in general the ground zero

7:42

is indeed hallowed ground but

7:44

let me be clear the have citizen

7:47

and as president i believe that muslims

7:49

have the right to practice their religion

7:52

everyone else in this modern

7:58

that was the right to build why

8:00

some worse in a community center

8:02

on private property in lower manhattan

8:05

in accordance with local laws and ordinances

8:08

the american and our commitment to

8:10

religious freedom must be unshakable

8:12

principal the people of all faiths are

8:14

welcome in this country that they will

8:16

not be treated differently by their

8:18

government if essential the

8:21

who we are the rid of the founders

8:23

must endure

8:26

that's when he issue went new fuel

8:28

air republican politicians

8:30

and pundits stepped up the rhetoric on the national

8:32

the nazis don't have the right

8:35

to put up a sign

8:37

next to the holocaust museum and in washington

8:39

we would never accept the japanese putting

8:42

up size next to pearl harbor or

8:44

there's no reason for us to someday mosques

8:46

nested world trade center i'm a reasonable

8:49

human being i have no problem

8:51

with a mask you want know the church a mosque

8:53

synagogue any place that's fine

8:56

you want to build it and you want to open it

8:58

on september eleventh you're a fool

9:00

the debate that the right appeared to be winning

9:03

the new kinda bothered to step in npr

9:06

you see prior to obamas comments

9:08

national public radio had nuanced

9:10

approach to covering controversy set

9:12

now that the scale of public opinion was leading

9:15

to the right journalist npr

9:17

to the noticeably more aggressive approach

9:19

this is morning edition from npr

9:21

news i'm lynn

9:22

with i managed events gave good morning there

9:24

was time after the nine eleven attacks

9:27

when american officials struggled to make a

9:29

crucial points from president bush

9:31

on down they said osama bin laden

9:33

did not represent all muslims

9:35

they said would be a victory for al

9:37

qaeda if americans turned against

9:40

the entire muslim world nine

9:42

years after nine eleven american

9:44

politicians are doing what they

9:46

were warned again

9:47

a plan for an islamic center two blocks

9:49

away from the world trade center site created

9:52

political opportunity and many candidates

9:54

are seizing that opportunity

9:56

to be clear republicans are not

9:58

the only opponents of the islamic that republicans

10:01

are the ones who appear to be eager to

10:03

use the issues to but democrats on

10:05

the defensive in this fall's elections

10:07

even npr is michelle martin began

10:09

to express her feelings on the matter during

10:12

an appearance on cnn against panelists

10:14

suggested the cordoba house developers

10:16

the market away from ground zero

10:18

michelle martin's hundred the idea and

10:20

wouldn't be a great thing is they moved it a

10:22

few blocks and muslims and and

10:25

americans you still worry would would be talking

10:27

to each other like a compromise why

10:29

don't we compromised majority white

10:31

christian church of did anybody move anybody christian

10:33

church after timothy mcveigh who are here

15:40

on the v rochelle a someone had soy de

15:42

har and fox news host below riley were

15:44

discussing propose mosque near ground

15:46

zero will they had difference of opinion

15:48

to put it mildly

15:52

next show below riley brought up his

15:55

feud on the deal with fox news commentator

15:57

juan williams the where my gone

15:59

wrong one

16:00

well actually i hate to say

16:02

this duke of don't want our debts or he goes on but i

16:04

think you're right i think what political correctness

16:07

can lead to some kind of paralysis

16:09

where you don't address reality i

16:11

mean look bill i'm not a big as you the kind of books

16:14

i've written about the civil rights movement this country

16:16

when i get on a plane i got say

16:18

if i see people who are and muslim garb

16:21

and i think know they are identifying themselves first

16:23

and foremost as muslims i get

16:25

worried i get nervous

16:30

the com it seemed pretty tame

16:32

that at the time one williams wasn't

16:35

just fox news commentator he was

16:37

also a news analyst for national

16:39

public radio and is candid statement

16:41

was complete odds with npr

16:44

sanctioned nearing the it

16:48

wasnt long before m pr ceo

16:50

vivian schiller gave juan williams the

16:52

boot

16:53

an analyst with national public radio

16:55

has been fire assign blame fire by

16:57

npr in two years chief executive

16:59

vivian schiller issued written statement

17:01

saying in part williams remarks

17:04

on the or riley factor this past monday

17:06

were inconsistent with our editorial standards

17:09

and practices and undermined

17:11

his credibility as news analyst

17:13

with npr

17:14

npr ceo held press conference

17:16

to address her decision the a been

17:18

frequent contributor to fox news

17:21

by we don't necessarily have an issue with that

17:23

however we expect anybody that

17:25

appears on our area there is a journalist or news

17:27

analyst the can do concede according

17:30

to our of journalistic loses as as wherever

17:32

they might be in any form and in any venue

17:35

there have been several incidences

17:37

over years where one has strayed

17:39

from that line

17:44

we decided that his integrity as

17:46

news analyst has been undermined

17:49

by the fact that he has

17:52

expressed these very devices views

17:54

and those two things are not compatible his

17:56

feelings that he expressed fox

17:59

news or really between them and have the

18:01

know

18:02

crisis or his publicist or take your

18:04

pets but it is not compatible with

18:06

with the role of news analyst on npr

18:08

their the firing reached

18:10

of political bias just few

18:13

months earlier and p r journalists michelle

18:15

martin softly aligned christians with

18:17

domestic terrorists timothy mcveigh yet

18:19

she still had job and days

18:22

earlier another npr journalist

18:24

has labeled tea party republicans

18:26

extremist

18:27

you think of another time in

18:30

american history when there have

18:32

been as many people running

18:34

for congress seems the be on

18:36

the extreme critics of the firing

18:38

noted other times npr journalists

18:40

made controversial comments that were fired

18:43

including when mean totem bird suggested

18:45

that god might give the aids virus to

18:47

the grandchildren other republican senator

18:50

for his policy positions classic

18:52

have any jesse helms defenders here name

18:54

as a i think the out of you're worried

18:56

about say about what's going on

18:58

good lord mine because if

19:00

is worth retributive justice

19:02

he'll get a system from a transfer there are

19:04

one of your grandchildren what yetis were

19:07

outraged by mps firing juan

19:09

williams and the immediate aftermath

19:12

one was asked why he thought npr fire

19:14

him

19:15

what you think the issue is your d thing assisted

19:17

a year the fact that you working for fox

19:19

became too much trouble for npr

19:22

like you know what was one of things in my life

19:24

as much as i think of i grew up both agree

19:26

on left i grew up here in new york city and

19:28

i've always thought the right wing was ones

19:30

were and flexible into power and

19:32

now i'm coming to realize that the orthodoxy

19:35

at npr if it's representing left

19:37

is just under

19:41

conservative had long considered public

19:43

broadcasting as left wing the

19:46

entire affair was perfectly positioned

19:48

for them to mountain attack on npr

19:50

specifically and public broadcasting

19:52

probably conservatives in some liberals are

19:54

lashing out at national public radio for firing

19:57

one of best know voices juan williams

19:59

my head

20:00

the said you want to any interviews at npr newt

20:02

gingrich accuse npr of censorship

20:04

recep i think that the us

20:06

congress should investigate npr and

taxpayer money into that censorship

progress people listen to npr and they

20:29

20:47

bad citigroup for npr

20:49

this is a a media has to be this

20:53

has been solved by allegations

20:55

of being to live with ncr has ncr

20:57

called all things considered and

20:59

it turns out there are

21:00

all things considered there's few viewpoint

21:02

that are considered and considered worthy

21:04

of airing

21:05

pr denies that their broadcasts of

21:07

liberal agenda and they say very little

21:09

of their money comes from the government anyway

21:11

but now republicans in congress are trying to

21:13

cut funding not only the npr

21:15

put to all public broadcasting sen

21:18

jim demand says he'll introduce bill

21:20

to n taxpayer subsidies he

21:22

says the firing of williams just shows npr

21:24

promotes a one sided liberal agenda

21:27

i think we have a national momentum did they find

21:29

npr that

21:30

much had happened i do believe that will happen

21:35

one williams would quickly land on its feet

21:38

after retiring he reportedly

21:40

signed a multiyear deal with fox news

21:42

worth two million dollars but

21:44

the turn events put taxpayer funding

21:46

for public broadcasting in the cross

21:48

hairs of conservative americans at

21:51

the time public broadcasting was receiving

21:53

four hundred and twenty million dot there's

21:55

annually how could you find the

21:57

entire operation fruitless

22:00

the pitch was scared me i the

22:02

tornado npr ombudsman

22:04

said the reaction to the firing had quote

22:06

and least an unprecedented firestorm

22:08

criticism directed not at williams

22:11

but at npr and quote within

22:13

the first twenty four hours of the controversy

22:16

and pr reportedly received more than eight

22:18

thousand emails which the ombudsman

22:20

said was quote a record with nothing

22:22

a close second and foot conservative

22:25

anger towards public broadcasting had

22:27

been building up for decades dating

22:29

back to it's launch from day

22:31

one right leaning america so liberal

22:34

bias to out the newly formed ecosystem

22:37

which may lead one to wonder how

22:39

did this government funded system even

22:41

come into existence understand

22:44

that we need to go back to the nineteenth

22:46

these were pretty good you feel

22:48

free to treat

22:54

the

22:54

early nineteen fifties broadcasting

22:57

with in it's infancy it was new

22:59

cable tv no internet no podcasts

23:02

know streaming services they were

23:04

just three national networks cbs

23:07

and b c and a b c all

23:09

three were in both radio and television

23:11

broadcasting no other major

23:13

national players run again but

23:15

there was an organization that was looking

23:17

to throw his hat in the ring enter

23:20

the ford foundation a tax

23:22

exempt philanthropic outfit founded

23:24

by automotive pioneer henry ford

23:26

and his son at the ford foundation

23:29

was formed in nineteen thirty six and

23:31

when henry ford died in nineteen forty

23:33

seven the foundation received financial

23:35

windfall of ninety percent of the non-voting

23:38

shares of the ford motor company

23:45

shortly after his grandfather's death the

23:47

ford foundation chairman henry ford

23:49

the second identified education

23:51

as one its primary areas of action

23:54

the

23:54

nineteen fifty two the foundation

23:56

made a move into the arena by sending

23:59

the education

24:00

television and radio center in ann

24:02

arbor michigan the center was to distribute

24:04

educational programming tybalt radio

24:07

and television now this

24:09

was a touchy time for tax exempt

24:11

entities like the ford foundation members

24:13

of congress viewed many of them with

24:15

a skeptical i they were concerned

24:18

that the trustees heading the big ones like

24:20

the carnegie rockefeller and ford foundations

24:22

were adopting a subversive approach

24:24

to their grantmaking activities and

24:26

it wasn't some harebrained conspiracy

24:29

theory the rockefeller foundation

24:31

funded alfred kinsey controversial

24:33

human sexual behavior studies

24:35

a line of research that would eventually lead

24:37

to the transgender and broader lgbtq

24:40

movement one us congressmen

24:42

tennessee congressmen brazil a carol reese

24:44

openly wondered quote to what extent

24:47

if any are the sons of the large

24:49

foundations aiding abetting marxist

24:51

tendencies and weakening love which

24:53

every american should have for his way of life

24:58

the congressmen

25:01

reese set out to find the answer

25:03

he put together what would come to be known as

25:05

the reese committee to investigate

25:07

not this stated missions of the foundation

25:10

but instead their actions

25:14

he added an economist to the committee that

25:16

the name of norman died god

25:18

would become the director of research of committee

25:21

shortly before his passing and nineteen eighty seven

25:24

dodd was asked in series of interviews

25:26

what is investigations found out about

25:28

the tax exempt foundations or

25:30

, out are directly foundations

25:33

had our their objective where

25:35

i am taste of the people of those

25:37

contrary to the idea of collectivism

25:41

and at thereby

25:43

nullifying for good and

25:45

all the commitment

25:48

of the contrary to individualism

25:50

which was the feature

25:52

of the country at the beginning

25:55

to do this the large tax exempt

25:57

foundations honed in foundations education

26:00

according to norman died they use

26:02

their vast resources to influence

26:04

the entire united states educational

26:07

system it was their attempt to chip

26:09

away at fabric of american society

26:12

the real committee claim to have found was

26:14

that the trustees of these tax exempt foundations

26:17

which medically shifting away from the beliefs

26:19

of the industry list the created

26:21

foundations wealth instead

26:24

adapted and an american marxist ideology

26:27

that's why they wanted to move the country

26:29

towards marxism norman died had

26:31

an answer

26:32

well because to them or communism

26:35

rappers and some a means of

26:37

developing what we call

26:39

a monopoly they will be the

26:41

beneficiaries i would yeah norman

26:44

don highlighted one off the record

26:46

conversation he had with the president of

26:48

the ford foundation course gaither

26:50

during his investigation the

26:52

instigators semi normal dot to his

26:54

office in new york and on

26:56

arrival after a man days

26:58

mr gates or who was there then

27:00

president

27:01

than most to died we

27:03

invited you to come and see as this morning

27:06

hoping that you would

27:09

off the record sellers rise

27:11

of congress was interested was interested

27:14

of foundation such as ours

27:16

and before i could think of how i

27:18

would reply to on a volunteered to

27:20

following you said god

27:22

those of us here as a policy

27:24

making level have all had

27:26

experience either was the o

27:28

s s or the european economic

27:31

administration in operating

27:33

under directives the origin

27:35

of which was in white house we

27:38

the day operate under just says

27:40

directives would you like to know what's

27:42

the substance of these directives

27:44

is and i said yes most

27:46

together i like very much to know whereupon

27:49

he said to me the substance

27:51

of the directives under which

27:53

we operate is that we shall

27:56

use our grantmaking power

27:58

showed older lives the united

28:00

states that we can be comfortably

28:02

merge with the soviet union twelve

28:05

figure a way i nearly fell off the chair

28:14

the power of the carnegie rockefeller

28:16

and ford foundations proved be

28:18

too much for the reese committee the

28:20

tax exempt organizations successfully

28:22

marginalized committee's findings

28:24

i

28:25

nineteen fifty four the ford foundation

28:27

continued their venture into so called

28:29

educational television by funding the national

28:31

educational television network and

28:33

organization began distributing content

28:37

national , educational

28:41

distributed by the educational television

28:43

and radio or know the ford

28:45

foundation had made such made dramatic

28:47

shift towards radical causes that

28:49

henry ford's grandson henry ford's the

28:51

second resigned as chairman of the foundation

28:54

and nineteen fifty six on

28:56

his way out he admonished the trustees

28:58

stating in his resignation letter to the

29:00

foundation was quote a creation

29:02

of capitalism i'm just suggesting

29:04

to trustees in the staff that the system

29:07

that makes the foundation possible very

29:09

probably is worth preserving and

29:11

quote few years later on

29:13

april third nineteen sixty one the national

29:15

educational radio network used funding

29:18

by ford foundation to begin broadcasting

29:20

unsexy radio stations seeds

29:25

of public television and public radio

29:27

were beginning to take root

29:29

at the cost of these endeavors were mounting

29:32

and the ford foundation began looking for

29:34

ways to reduce their financial commitment and

29:36

their timing was impeccable like

29:39

everybody i were more than one half

29:41

i am the chairman of the fcc

29:43

but i'm also a television viewer

29:46

and the husband and father of other television

29:48

viewers on may ninth nineteen sixty

29:50

one newly appointed fcc chairman

29:52

newton minnow gave a speech to the national

29:55

association broadcasters in washington

29:57

dc historians mark this

29:59

as attorney the point for public broadcast

30:02

the speech in effect provided the rationale

30:04

for the government's to fund new broadcasting

30:07

network the speech came be known

30:09

as the vast wasteland speech and

30:11

in it newton minnow criticized the

30:13

content of the entire broadcasting

30:15

industry

30:16

i have seen a great many programs that seems

30:18

to me eminently worthwhile when

30:20

television is good it's nothing

30:23

not the theater not the magazines

30:25

or newspapers nothing is better but

30:27

when television as bad as nothing

30:29

is worse i invite each

30:31

of you to sit down in front of your own television

30:33

set when you're station goes on air and

30:36

stay there for a day keep

30:38

your eyes glued to that safe until the station

30:40

right on i can assure you

30:42

that what you will observe is a vast

30:44

wasteland you will see a procession

30:47

of game shows formula comedies

30:49

about totally unbelievable families blood

30:51

and thunder mayhem violence sadism

30:54

murder western bad men westerns good

30:56

men private eyes gangsters

30:59

more violence and cartoons and

31:01

endlessly so merciless many screaming

31:03

cajoling and offending and most

31:05

of all boredom true we'll see

31:07

few things you will enjoy but

31:09

they will be very very few and

31:11

of you think i exaggerate i only

31:13

ask you to try most

31:15

young children today believe it or not

31:18

spend as much time watching television

31:20

as they do in the school rules is

31:22

there are no room on television to teach

31:24

to inform to uplift

31:26

to stretch to enlarge the capacities

31:29

of our children there are known him for

31:31

a children's news show explaining something

31:33

to them about the world at their level

31:35

of understanding is there no room for

31:37

reading great literature of the past for

31:39

teaching them the great traditions of freedom

31:42

there are some fine children's shows

31:44

but they are drowned out in the massive

31:46

doses of cartoons violence

31:48

and more violence must seize

31:51

the your trademarks search

31:53

your time sensors and see if you cannot

31:55

offer more to you're young beneficiaries

31:57

was future you guys so

31:59

many hours every day

32:10

it was effective rhetoric and newton

32:12

minnow would go on be considered one of

32:14

the godfathers of public radio later

32:17

head the carnegie foundation and played

32:19

part in barack obama life in

32:21

late nineteen eighties he recruited obama

32:24

to his law firm were barack met his future

32:26

wife michelle president obama

32:28

would return the favor by giving newton

32:30

minnow the presidential medal of freedom

32:33

in two thousand and sixteen a year after

32:35

newton minnows nineteen sixty one speech

32:37

president kennedy sign educational

32:39

television facilities at which brought

32:41

32:46

32:50

public broadcasting movement was gaining

33:56

and play the hand in bringing marxist professors

33:58

from the german frankfurt school to the

34:00

united states the same professors that

34:02

would develop the woke ideology saturating

34:05

universities media and all of

34:07

modern american culture the

34:09

anyone that was paying attention something's

34:11

fishy was developing in public broadcasting

the entire ecosystem was made up of

34:16

leftists friendly to the socialists

34:18

34:20

big boost

34:27

from dallas texas the flash

ford foundation who'd been primary

36:19

funder of public broadcasting had started

36:22

experimenting with financing documentaries

36:24

and public affairs programming that

36:26

is distributed through its national educational

36:28

television network her content was

36:30

saturated with the radical counterculture

ideas if the nineteen sixties which might

send an early two thousand and eleven a young

42:10

journalist hold the curtain back on npr

42:17

npr that

42:19

people who know how to do it npr

42:33

foundation executive one schiller thinks

42:35

he's meeting with a potential donor but he's

42:37

actually been hunt last month's

42:39

schiller went the past georgetown eatery

42:41

cafe milan out where he thought he was

42:43

meeting potential donors affiliated with the fundamentalist

42:46

muslim brotherhood who offering

42:48

five million dollar donation he was

42:50

caught on tape trying to ingratiate himself

42:52

to the donors by disparaging jews

42:54

the tea party and republican party

43:00

part is

43:13

he also said the network would be better

43:15

off without federal funding smith's

43:17

to me is mightily a window

43:19

into how they really think it's like you were tuning

43:22

radio i just my accidents new

43:24

got the right way went and now you're hearing

43:26

that since schiller was living down

43:28

to the conservative stereotype of it as pr

43:30

executive sneering arrogant

43:33

utterly dismisses not his own

43:35

view , cast character in

43:38

the right wing or three guys

43:43

today in response to that news schiller was

43:45

placed on administrative leave

44:00

the news under assault

44:01

o'keeffe pulled off what he called a long

44:03

con where is operated set

44:05

up an elaborate ruse to expose a

44:07

left wing bias is npr

44:09

okay been as operatives want to great lengths for

44:11

the sting even setting up fake website

44:13

of muslim education action center then

44:16

the operatives posing as well be muslim donors

44:18

set a meeting at this dc restaurant

44:20

and set up a hidden camera inside i

44:23

spoke with npr president and ceo

44:25

vivian schiller who's not related to

44:27

run schiller over the phone

44:29

comment made by robert shiller are

44:31

are an affront to this organization and are contrary

44:33

to everything we stand for as news

44:35

organizations her response didn't

44:37

save her job

44:39

the n p r c o was eventually forced

44:41

out along with the executive con sting

44:43

the

44:44

ceo of npr submitted her

44:46

resignation today there chief fundraiser

44:48

was also shown door their casualties

44:50

and war of of culture and spending cuts

44:52

that threatens the very existence of public

44:54

broadcasting including big bird

44:57

and elmo house rules committee called

44:59

an emergency meeting this afternoon

45:01

to consider bill that would cut government funding

45:03

for npr i think that the

45:06

image that we have seen on the videos

45:09

silva something about the internal culture

45:11

of npr listen to the executives

45:13

at npr that says that that

45:15

on these taxpayer funded we

45:18

oughta take that advice for what it is

45:20

why should we allow taxpayer dollars

45:23

to be used to advocate one

45:26

ideology why should

45:28

we we shouldn't schiller's remarks

45:30

and their public disclosure could hardly

45:32

com at worst time for public broadcasting

45:35

house republicans have voted to strip away all

45:37

funding for public started sending

45:40

urged

45:56

me and it was all com

45:59

today

46:00

thirteen public broadcasting received

46:02

over four hundred and twenty million dollars from

46:04

washington d c and those phones

46:06

have been slowly increasing ever since

46:09

he doesn't twenty four public

46:11

broadcasting is set to receive a whopping

46:13

five hundred and twenty five million

46:16

in taxpayer dollars

46:27

but it's due six the

46:31

well the right can try to define public

46:34

broadcasting but it's been feeling it that

46:36

for half century i mean the g

46:38

p was unable to defund planned

46:40

parenthood even after the country

46:42

learn they sowed the seeds tissue

46:44

have aborted babies maybe

46:46

they're right should attempt something new

46:48

perhaps it should try to infiltrate

46:51

public broadcasting by creating it's

46:53

own organizations it can tap

46:55

these massive funds think

46:57

about it the left also played the long

46:59

con by transforming educational

47:01

network into news organization

47:04

now it has an annual slush

47:06

fund of roughly half billion dollars

47:08

to produce news and documentaries that

47:10

help keep the democrats in power npr

47:13

and pbs have led the way in defining

47:15

the narrative of almost every hot

47:18

button issue in america from

47:20

it's beginnings it helped turn the

47:22

public against richard nixon to modern

47:24

times where it's received a prestigious

47:26

peabody award for it's coverage

47:28

on the so called insurrection of january

47:31

sixth but was absent in characterizing

47:33

the george floyd riots as the insurrection

47:36

it was maybe the way

47:38

to six public broadcasting is for

47:40

the right to infiltrate the industry

47:42

to become conservative public broadcasters

47:45

because even npr admits that

47:47

their entire organization is staffed

47:50

almost exclusively by left

47:52

wingers you and i both know

47:54

that if you were to somehow poll the

47:56

political orientation of everybody

47:58

in the npr news organization

48:00

in all of the member states since you

48:02

would find that progressive liberal

48:04

crowd not uniformly but

48:06

overwhelmingly journalism in

48:08

general reporters tend to be democrats

48:10

and had to be more liberal than the public as whole

48:12

sure but that doesn't change what is

48:14

going out over the air

48:17
