Second NPR 'Sting' Video Catches NPR Exec Offering to 'Shield' Donations from Audit

That NPR exec's name is Betsy Liley, NPR's senior director for institutional giving.

"NPR has repeatedly said that they had no intention of accepting money from this pretend organization. On the occasion of the disclosure of the first video, NPR spokeswoman Dana Davis Rehm stated, "The fraudulent organization represented in this video repeatedly pressed us to accept a $5 million check, with no strings attached, which we repeatedly refused to accept."

Liley's conversations clearly don't jibe with anyone's idea of a "repeated refusal."
