OK, I'll be the one to say O'Keefe's ACORN sting was bullshit, the product of creative editing, and that ACORN was a worthwhile organization. I guess that part of it didn't make it to you folks out there in FOXland.

Is that supposed to be some brave stand on a thread where most posters are calling him a criminal or worse?

You saying O'Keefe isn't a criminal?

No, I'm not saying anything about O'Keefe - I just found the "OK, I'll say it" intro odd.

NPR was forced to do damage control for a third day in a row after the release of undercover audio in which a top fund-raiser is heard telling a person she thought was a potential donor that NPR could possibly shield the donation from government tax authorities.

The lengthy audio, taken from surreptitiously recorded telephone conversations, was released Thursday by the conservative activist James O’Keefe.

...

Separately, nearly two dozen NPR on-air journalists released an “open letter” to listeners and supporters in which they condemned the “offensive comments” made by Mr. Schiller, saying they “violated the basic principles by which we live and work: accuracy and open-mindedness, fairness and respect.”

Yesterday, an excellent in-depth analysis was done on the NPR sting video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas group. By comparing the unedited footage with the version widely circulated, the analysis concluded that that Project Veritas’ editing of the tapes was “questionable” and “deceptive” enough to be “unethical” by journalism standpoints.

One clip shows much of what Ron Schiller (the NPR executive featured in the video) said about the Tea Party was actually a paraphrasing of what others have said.

Anything/everything done by O'Keefe must be presumed to be completely fabricated.

Really inky you are thinking about this way too much. I am happy to continue to give the NPR folks my tax dollars.
They provide great comedy.
