Dear James O'Keefe,
Just because you clandestinely taped one NPR executive expressing vitriol doesn't mean that you have "exposed the true hearts and minds of NPR and its executives." All you've done is "expose" the biases of one individual.
Your conclusion is an example of the Hasty Generalization fallacy. It may also be an example of the Biased Sample fallacy. In any event, use of such fallacies is ill-advised as they aren't logically sound, illustrating a deficiency in critical thinking ability. I'd suggest revising before people draw conclusions about you.
Sincerely,
C. S.
P. S.: Thank you for your hard work; exposing "true hearts and minds" via hidden cameras and elaborate skits isn't easy.

If only he could express the true hearts as well as you have expressed yourself.
