On Oct 2nd, Nina Totenberg reported on NPR that the Justice Dept. granted a White House request to delay an order to preserve records for the criminal investigation on the CIA agent's exposure. NPR then deleted the report from the show's transcript.


CIA Exposure Scandal: Justice Granted White House Delay on Preserving Records for Investigation
Nina Totenberg Reports on NPR, which then deletes revelation from show's transcript

On October 2nd, Nina Totenberg reported on Morning Edition that the Justice Department granted a White House request to delay a directive to preserve its records as part of the CIA exposure scandal. Then, NPR deletes her report from its transcript of the show.

Why did the Justice Department delay its directive to not destroy phone and email records? Does this action support call for independent investigation?

Why did NPR delete what was clearly the most interesting (as well as the most damaging) part of Nina Totenberg's interview on Morning Edition?

Thanks to Robert E. Reynolds for transcribing the lost segment. Thanks to buzzflash.com for posting Reynolds' work. Traprock discovered the NPR deletion when it followed Reynolds' advice to purchase the transcript of the show, only to find that Totenberg's report on the cooperation between the White House and the Justice Department had been deleted from the transcript.

Luckily, NPR had neglected to delete the report from the audio. You can hear the audio of the missing report at Traprock's site - http://traprockpeace.org/npr_totenberg_oct_02_2003.html****

Who is Nina Totenberg, what function does she perform in the Mind Kontrol program? What is the function of NPR, does it report actual unspun "Information" ? Or does it spin the reporting of socalled facts, to distort the perspectives of listeners to accept the "Official Cover Story" ?
