Former NPR Chief Vivian Schiller Vows Return To Media: ‘I’m Not Done’

» 31 comments

Ex-NPR CEO Vivian Schiller has made her first public remarks since her ouster, telling the International Women’s Media Foundation in Washington D.C. that she’s “not done” with a career in media. “I certainly plan to stay in journalism.”

Schiller resigned this month in the messy aftermath of a video “sting operation” conducted by James O’Keefe, which caught two NPR executives on hidden camera making critical comments about the Tea Party.

The Wrap’s Brent Lang says Schiller didn’t make specific comments on the episode, but did describe her time at NPR as difficult. “We went through a series of four or five extremely difficult months, and it was very stressful and there was a tremendous amount of pressure on me,” Schiller said.

And, Schiller promises, she’s coming back, promising her return will come “at some point in the not too distant future.”

    FOK news.

  • LETMEBECLEAR

    she’ll fit in nicely, at daily kos or media matters, it’s right up her alley.

  • felixw

    CNN should hire her. With Eliot Spitzer on board, CNN has already proven itself the destination of choice for disgraced public figures. And certainly Schiller would fit in with the group-think and brain-numbing political correctness at CNN. A perfect marriage.

  • Davo

    She’ll probably go right back to the top of NPR. You know how Democrits are. There is no standard nor any accountability of Democrit leaders, and Schiller was probably promised to be re-instated after a brief period of play-acting by NPR. That’s just Commandment #8 of the “10 Commandments of the Democrat Playbook.”

    Nope, Stick a fork in that pig, It’s done.

    Tee didly dee.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    That’s her problem . It’s between her and her psychiatrist or psychologist .
    Right , Juan ?

  • OxyCon

    I’m sure there thousands of far-left media outlets for her to land at.

  • Arkansas Steve

    Wait VIVIAN,
    I hear there is an opening at CBS.
    I hear CBS News overpays for mediocre talent.
    Take a shot Viv. You’ve got nothing to lose. Nothing.

  • Barack Must Go

    Someone needs to stick a fork in her to test if she’s really not done, or maybe just mistaken.

  • tatboy

    I hear Current TV is hiring. She could be a FOKer.

  • notsofast

    Stick a fork in her; she is done.

    “Schiller resigned this month in the messy aftermath of a video “sting operation” conducted by James O’Keefe, which caught two NPR executives on hidden camera making critical comments about the Tea Party.”

    Weren’t those two NPR execs caught doing more than just making disparaging comment about the Tea Party?  In fact, isn’t it true that the ensuing scandal had nothing to do with the Tea Party?  

    Maybe the author of this “puff piece” simply failed to do his research.  It would be a shame if the truth was omitted deliberately.

  • Nacho

    Seeing these comments helps remind me that the attack against NPR wasn’t partisan based.

  • notsofast

    She should spell her last name Shiller because she was just a lib shill..

  • notsofast

    She sure has a face made for radio.

  • bohratom

    I’ll bet my left nut that when she does return it will be with a left-wing liberal organization…No doubt about that one…

    Turnabout is fair play, LMAO!

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    Since couric is leaving the C(ertified)B(iased)S(ocialists) network in june (no doubt to work on her muslim version of cosby) , schiller sounds like an appropriate replacement, since all these lamestream “Corrupt B-tards” are interchangeable.

  • Utah Johnny Montana

    Could be mistaken ,but I reckon this is Viv the Dancehall Girl from Dodge city about 40 years ago .

  • Alz

    She’s probably going to be getting a big surprise. The media has been devastated. She already had the dream job. I’ll bet she expects all of the perks that go with being top honcho at a liberal, welfare-supported outfit like NPR.

    Khadaffy needs her now.

    Right. It was motivated by what NPR did to Juan Williams. Weird, huh?

  • Phocus2

    Maybe she could polish knobs over at Current TV…relieve some of the burden on good old Olbermann.

  • Dookiestix

    NPR is spineless. They were absolutely right about the tea bagging racist birthers. This is no mystery.

    The truth that Tea Baggers are racist? Yes, omitting that truth would be unfortunate…

    Or how about Fok News? Lord knows they have enough disgraced morons over there leading the un-intellectual charge.

    Schiller would never fit in at Fox News. Fox lets people with different views engage in honest, open discussion without censorship or a stultifying political correctness — and without asking for handouts from taxpayers. Schiller and the rest of the NPR crew would be totally out of place in that kind of environment.

  • X-3

    Don’t worry Mzzzz Schill, Soros will hire you.

  • eingriff

    The Communist News Network would seem a logical succession.

    Grammar skills are just another deficiency of these Schiller NPR types. Judging from the mug shot Mediaite provides, I’d say she needs about 15 minutes more on the broiler on her left side…!

  • Roundkeep

    She has very experience to understand these type Circumstances . On which type condition she is on , it’ all about just praise for her. And that’s why she was life of National Public Radio…
