The fight over public broadcasting

The House of Representatives is
voting today on a bill that would prevent public radio stations from paying
their NPR dues with federal money. This follows the video that brought down NPR head Vivian Schiller and
senior VP Ron Schiller (no relation to each other).

Of course, the video was heavily edited to be blatantly
misleading--and this should come as no surprise. James
O'Keefe, the conservative activist behind the sting, has done this sort of thing before. Chris Rovzar finds O'Keefe's behavior perplexing:

At a certain point, liberal
institutions should start counting these O'Keefe videos as actual victories. If
he can't make a compelling video without absurd cutting and pasting, surely
these places are actually doing something right. At the very least, they'll
hopefully stop firing people the minute the "stings" are released and
start learning from their mistakes - something O'Keefe himself seems strangely
unwilling to do.
