Glenn Beck's Website Does the best Analysis of the NPR Sting

link here to article

There has been a lot of discussion among pundits about the ethics of James O'Keefe's most recent sting operation. He set up a fake muslim organization and invited the chief fundraiser from NPR to meet with the board of the organization about a potential $5 million contribution to NPR. O'Keefe's organization taped and edited the meeting and released it to the public. It resulted in the resignation of the executive and the CEO of NPR.

Glenn Beck's organization viewed the edited version that was released to the public as well as the unedited version and determined that the edited version was materially misleading. The NPR executive believed that he was dealing with a respectable muslim organization and not with the Muslim Brotherhood which is poorly regarded. Moreover, although some opinions were expressed about the Tea Party by the NPR executive, they were made in the context of what Republican acquaintances had told him about the Tea Parties takeover of the GOP.

The edited and unedited versions of the video are available via this link. I must admit that I was surprised that Glenn Beck's organization produced this analysis which is more informative than all of the discussion that I have seen elsewhere.
