NPR caught on video admitting to covering up the story that many Americans question Obama’s eligibility

NPR’s admission indicts the whole liberal media establishment…they all know it but don’t cover it!

NPR Admits to Obama Birther Coverup

A top officer for National Public Radio has confirmed that many Americans still question whether Barack Obama is eligible to be president, but that the tax-supported organization just isn't reporting on it.

It was Betsy Liley, NPR's senior director of institutional giving, who was meeting with another NPR executive, senior Vice President Ron Schiller, when an undercover recorder was running.

Be sure watch the video below the excerpts for the whole account and context. Here are a few of the important statements to note:

"So it's more complicated than saying [editor's note: referring to climate change reporting], 'Where was Obama born? In Hawaii or not? Is he an American citizen or not?'" she explains.

"There's still a question about whether he is and that is a fact," she said. "But I think the challenge in our society now is questioning facts. It's not opinions that we're debating. It's what are the facts? Is the world flat? I mean is that the next question we're going to debate?"

"We're not covering the birthers. We are not covering them," Liley said. "There's a whole movement within the conservative group about questioning something that Obama has said as fact, 'I was born in Hawaii, when it was a United States state.' The group that questions this, some of whom are commentators ... I don't know any who are Democrats, but they are primarily conservative commentators and people who follow them question if Obama is [a natural-born citizen]."
