NPR says it refused donation from phony foundation

NPR issued this brief statement on the video sting released today by conservative filmmaker James O'Keefe:

"The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept.

We are appalled by the comments made by Ron Schiller in the video, which are contrary to what NPR stands for.

Mr. Schiller announced last week that he is leaving NPR for another job."
