[Intolerant in NJ]

In 1995, Nina Totenberg, NPR's award-winning legal affairs correspondent, was allowed to keep her job after telling the host of PBS' "Inside Washington" that if there was "retributive justice" in the world, former North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms would "get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it."...Totenberg's comments are bad enough, but some of her political activities are inexcusable - the book "The Real Anita Hill" talks about how she worked behind the scene to encourage and then effectively force Hill to come forward with her accusations against Clarence Thomas - Totenberg apparently in her disguise as a real journalist got hold of some of Hill's statements about Thomas - Hill was not originally inclined to make a formal public complaint about Thomas, but Totenberg used her knowledge of what Hill had said to intimidate her to go public - Totenberg should have been fired long ago......

NPR’s Julianne Malveaux begged for Clarence Thomas’ wife to feed him a diet of eggs and butter, hopefully to speed his death from heart disease.
