From Patterico:

Reckless Disregard for the Truth: My Incredible Interchange With the NPR “Ombudsman”

Apparently, the lady Ombudsman for National Public Radio posted the following "tweet" -

#NPR Ron Schiller said in the full two hour Okeefe video he is a Republican, and was raised as a Republican. that didn't make it in video 2:00 PM Mar 9th via TweetDeck Retweeted by 100+ people

Ombudsman
Alicia Shepard

Uh-oh! There goes that James O’Keefe again, with his heavily edited and deceptive videos! Why, I bet he wasn’t even wearing a pimp costume! Her message was repeated by Jack Shafer of Slate and Radley Balko of Reason — and more than 100 others, as you can see.  Just one problem: the message was flatly untrue. And when I called her on it, her regard for facts was about what you would expect from an NPR ombudsman.

Unbelievable what she goes through rather than to just admit that she was mistaken. Ron Schiller is NOT a Republican.

...Ron Schiller is NOT a Republican.

Schiller himself would probably rather be made a fool of, lose his job at NPR and his job at the Aspen Institute, than to have anyone seriously believe he is a Republican. He's one of the committed ones.

Oh, he's not a gun-toting Christian former Jew who belongs to the Tea Party?  That's nice!

Republican doesn't mean what it used to!

Thanks for trying to play, Alicia, but better try harder next time!

What a moronic twit...

Can they have a more lame ombudsman?
