The other shoe - heh...

From Talking Points Memo:
Does James O'Keefe Have a PBS Video Too?
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting might still not have hit bottom in the James O'Keefe hidden camera scandal as evidence emerges that PBS might have fallen prey to the same prank.

A spokeswoman for PBS told the New York Times' Media Decoder blog that their senior vice president for development, Brian Reddington, had met with the same phony Muslim group that lured NPR executives into a trap with talk of a $5 million donation. Given the impact of the NPR tape, which forced resignations from both CEO Vivian Schiller and the executive captured on camera, Ron Schiller (no relation to Vivian), the prospect of another video featuring PBS execs could be a giant shoe waiting to drop.
Given the timing of the releases on the ACORN tapes, I would not be surprised. When the first ACORN video was released, ACORN went into damage control mode and said that this was just that one corrupt office and that training would commence. Then the second video was released, and the third, and the fourth and the fifth. The next few weeks should be interesting... Posted by DaveH at March 10, 2011 10:07 AM
