March 17, 2011; Source: Media Matters | James O’Keefe, of the ACORN and NPR stings is still yapping at the heels of NPR, but his latest revelation, as tweeted below, is . . . actually not really news to anyone.

This article from Media Matters (linked to above) lays out some of the many press releases that NPR has put out over the years to actually advertise the fact that Soros funding was supporting a piece of programming. (Yes they confessed!) The author of the post said that finding these statements took all of ten minutes. Philanthropist/businessman George Soros, of course, is a favorite target of Glenn Beck rants.—Ruth McCambridge
