NPR CEO Vivian Schiller Resigns

-- Top exec resigns a day after then-NPR fundraiser Ron Schiller (no relation) announced his resignation after he was secretly videotaped describing Tea Party members as "racist".

As reported on the NPR blog on March 9, 2011:

"Vivian Schiller quickly condemned Ron Schiller's comments, and he moved up an already-announced decision to leave NPR and resigned effective immediately. But Ron Schiller's gaffe followed last fall's dismissal of NPR political analyst Juan Williams, for which Vivian Schiller came under harsh criticism and NPR's top news executive, Ellen Weiss, resigned."
