What proof do you have that they accepted the money?

Are you serious?
They did not "take the money". There never was any money to take.
There is a video showing them grubbing for it, as alleged, and they made outrageous statements while grubbing.
Their spokesperson you quoted stated they refused to take the Muslim Brotherhood money, and to date I no of no evidence to support that.
Not a video. Not an email. Not graffiti on bathroom wall.

Thanks for the correction as to the source.
Can you find any evidence in support of the content of the statement? It certainly didn't seem to me that anyone in the (admittedly edited) video was planning to turn down any donations. Do you suppose they made the statements they made only to end the meeting by standing up and saying: "You know what? We don't want your money"?


Video: NPR leaders knew of possible $5M gift
12 minutes ago

By BEN NUCKOLS
Associated Press

(AP:WASHINGTON) A follow-up video from conservative activists targeting NPR shows that its former CEO and its top lawyer were aware of a potential $5 million contribution from a phony Muslim group.

NPR has said the group did not meet its standards for potential donors and that it never came close to accepting the donation.

That was on the recording they just played on the news.

I don't think you have to "listen" to NPR to know what it's all about.

I honestly hope they can prove that.

She also said that they did exactly that for GEORGE SOROS!!! And she said that their top legal advisor ***who is now the interim director*** knew all about it!
Wow!

Where did you see that? "Lily" is Betsy Liley, the staffer in the lunch video.

They played a few clips on the 7 o'clock news on the radio. I don't know who "Lily?" is.
They said, "other news agencies are reporting that....." so I guess there'll be plenty about it tommorow.
It sounds like there's going to be a lot of IRS Inspectors at their offices for a while and that "interim director" is going to be in some BIG trouble! She'll be disbarred for sure and could be facing some very serious charges.

Yes. Typical damage control from a friendly press.
I agree that the full video should be released.

An uncut version but with a list of the most important times...so no one can say "oooh, edited and out of context".

Corporations pay taxes, moron.

NPR takes the tax money corporations pay.

See the difference?

Get a fucking clue. A tax break means they pay less, not that the government is giving them anything... if a given corporation paid a hundred million in taxes one year and theyre given a break so that they "only" have to pay 95 million the next, theyre still paying in, not taking out.

Leftists may not all be complete idiots but they certainly have an overabundance of them on their side.

SOME corporations pay taxes. Mostly the smaller ones like Mine. In many cases, a tax BREAK means the big ones pay NONE because they send lots of money to certain political campaigns.

Im pretty sure they have a nonprofit status, which perhaps that had ought to be looked into as well.

The Hoh  is  insisting that tax breaks are the same as taking money, which is just stupid beyond words

What she said was she thought they could, but she wasnt sure and would have to check.

Kasaam:So it sounds like you’re saying that, um… I mean, it sounded like you were saying that NPR would be able to shield us from a government audit. Is that correct?

Liley:I think that would be the case, especially if you anonymous. And I can inquire about that.

They do have a nonprofit status. Many nonprofit organizations accept anonymous donations. The last to cause such an uproar was the 1 million dollar donation the Tea Party accepted.
