The CEO of NPR, Vivian Schiller, has resigned under pressure after one of her executives was caught on a hidden camera calling the tea party racist.
The comments from NPR executive Ron Schiller (no relation) came when he met with a fake Muslim group with ties to a conservative activist. The meeting was secretly recorded and posted on the internet on Tuesday.
