NBC Set to Hire NPR Retread Vivian Schiller
Former National Public Radio president and CEO Vivian Schiller who resigned in March after video surfaced showing an NPR fundraiser making disparaging remarks about Republicans and the Tea Party is apparently returning to the news business.
According to Steve Kafka Schiller is in negotiations to join NBC and will be in charge of digital projects:
People familiar with the company say Schiller, who once ran the New York Times’ Web site, will report to NBC News chief Steve Capus. Both Schiller and NBC declined to comment.
NBC will be taking a risk in hiring Schiller based on the circumstances under which she left NPR but considering her liberal credentials she is a perfect ft for the network.
Update: Schiller Hired
From NBC news release:
“Bringing Vivian on board enhances this network’s mission of growth and the evolution of its digital businesses and strategy. With Vivian’s help, NBC News will be recognized as the premier broadcast news organization in America, as well as the most innovative, comprehensive and trusted news operation,” said Steve Capus. “Her background in journalism, combined with expertise in the digital space will add a strong new pillar to the NBC News leadership team.”

So … if FOX News hires someone who’s perceived by so-called liberals to be a rightwing nutcase … that’s OK … but … if NBC chooses to hire someone who’s perceived by so-called conservatives to be a leftwing nutcase … that’s NOT OK???
The partisanship, hypocrisy and double-standard on the right are two very good reasons why Republican voter registrations are declining nationwide.
Ted, you’re completely of the mark on your comment. What Schiller is is a person who took our tax dollars and promoted a leftist agenda. Where our tax dollars are concerned, we expect equal or non biased agendas, which Schiller is not. Other networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox ect. are expected to have an honest agenda. Schiller has shown to not fit that bill either.
The more propegandists for the NAZIS BROADCASTING COMPANY to spread more propeganda for big brother
Well it just goes to show that the Nothing But Crap (NBC) network is still nothing but NBC. And we thought that CBS’s jettisoning of Katie Carwreck from her job as anchor of their premier of “all the news that is left” and head leftist news point cheerleader was a start in the right direction for the leftist MSM.
