Defund NPR.

Take NPR’s non-profit status from them.

NPR is a political organization and should not have tax deductible status for its donors.

I remember Nina Totenberg and how she lynched Clarence Thomas at his hearings.

She’s a repulsive, snarky witchhag .. and here’s another connection to her leftist hypocrisy.

*snip*

Totenberg has broken a number of stories about the Supreme Court, leading Ann Louise Bardach to lionize her in Vanity Fair as “Queen of the Leaks”.[1] In 1977, Totenberg first received a level of fame for her NPR reports that included the private Supreme Court deliberations about cases relating to the Watergate scandal.

In 1986, she broke the story that Douglas H. Ginsburg, who had been nominated to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan, had smoked marijuana. As a result, Ginsburg withdrew his name from consideration.

In 1991, Totenberg reported on confidential documents leaked to her on allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas by University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill.

Totenberg’s report about Hill’s allegations led the Senate Judiciary Committee to re-open Thomas’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings to consider Hill’s charges, and nearly derailed Thomas’ nomination to the court.

Personal life and family

Nina Totenberg was born in New York, the elder daughter of violinist Roman Totenberg and Melanie Totenberg, who was Executive Vice President of the Massachusetts Chapter of Americans for Democratic Action.[2] She is the widow of U.S. Senator Floyd K. Haskell (D-Colorado), whom she married in 1979.

She remarried in 2000 to H. David Reines, a trauma surgeon and Vice Chairman of Surgery at Inova Fairfax Hospital. On their honeymoon, he treated her for severe injuries after she was hit by a boat propeller while swimming.[3]

In March 2010, Totenberg’s sister Amy Totenberg was nominated by President Barack Obama to the U.S. District Court in Atlanta.[4
