  • The Washington Times
    The Washington Times www.washingtontimes.com Perils of state-owned news outlets By Richard W. Rahn THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published June 5, 2003 If the federal government suddenly announced it had acquired the New York Times and now was going to force taxpayers to subsidize it, how would you react? Furthermore, assume you were told they would keep the same left-leaning editorial personnel and practices. Most Americans would be justifiably outraged because they would understand they were being forced to pay for political propaganda they may disagree with; that the government-subsidized paper had an unfair advantage over its private sector competitors; and that the paper could be used by political authorities for their own advantage. In fact, these same arguments are equally valid against the government-owned Corporation for Public Broadcasting and its subsidiary, National Public Radio (NPR). NPR has a well-known and documented left-wing political bias with views almost identical to that of the New York Times. NPR has a strong advantage over its private sector competitors because it receives the government subsidy and tax-deductible, private contributions to its operations. Advocates for NPR often claim conservatives have more talk radio hosts with bigger audiences so, even if NPR has a leftist bias, it is not a danger. However, there is a fundamental difference. If you do not like Rush Limbaugh, you can boycott his sponsors by not buying their products. If you do not like NPR and try to boycott its sponsor (the federal government) by withholding your taxes, you can be sent to jail.

  • January Jones Opens up About Being a Single Celebrity Mom
    January Jones Opens Up About Being a Single Celebrity Mom By Justin Thomas In a recent celebrity news from Red Magazine, Mad Men actress and proud single celebrity January Jones opened up about the only (little) man she needs in her life. That, of course, being her 5-year-old son, Xander. She has never revealed the identity of Xander’s father to the public, saying that that information is strictly the business of her son. Jones, 38, said something a lot of modern day single moms might need to hear: “It’s good to have strong women around a man. To teach him to respect women. He doesn’t have a male person in his life saying ‘don’t cry’ or ‘you throw like a girl.’ All those s—ty things dads accidentally do.” She went on to say, “I just don’t feel I need a partner. Do I want one? Maybe. But I don’t feel unhappy or lonely,”. This single celebrity is totally fine being alone! What are some ways to embrace your single lifestyle? Cupid’s Advice: It can sometimes be hard to walk in a single person’s shoes but it doesn’t always have to be. Here are some tips to help make the stride a little easier: 1. Single doesn’t mean alone: Keep family and friends close to you heart. Make sure you make and spend time with loved ones. Don’t underestimate the value of family and friendship and all of the love and support they offer. We all get by with a little help from our friends.

In our globalized era, it is tempting to imagine that urban experiences have a quality of sameness: skyscrapers, subways and chain stores; a density of bricks and humanity; a sense of urgency and striving. The essays in Mthis collection make clear how wrong that assumption would be: from the dreamland of Jonathan Kellerman’s Los Angeles to the vibrant awakening of Edna Buchanan’s Miami; from the mid-century tenements of Pete Hamill’s beloved Brooklyn to the haunted viaducts of Stuart Dybek’s Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago; from the natural beauty and human diversity of Charles Johnson’s Seattle to the past and present myths of Richard Ford’s New Orleans, these reminiscences and musings conjure for us the richness and strangeness of any individual’s urban life, the way that our Claire Messud is the author of three imaginations and identities and literary histories are intertwined in a novels and a book of novellas.

  • January Jones Said Returning to ‘Mad Men&
    January Jones Said Returning to ‘Mad Men’ Post-Baby Was Tough January Jones, made famous by her role as Betty Draper (now Betty Francis) on AMC’s hit show Mad Men, described her feelings of coming back to work seven weeks after giving birth to her son, Xander, as first day of school nerves. According to People, the long days on the set were tough for her, especially with her son being so little, but work did everything possible to make it comfortable for her. “The first episode I’m always finding my way back into my character’s shoes. But, then after a few days, I’m able to fall pretty easily back into her, and find her voice and her body language and everything that I do for her,” said Jones. What are some ways to balance your career and your family? Cupid’s Advice: Finding work and family balance is never easy, but it’s not impossible. As long as you’re getting equal support from your family and work, finding a work/life balance is completely possible. Here’s how: 1. Be honest and open a work: Let your boss and co-workers know that though your life at home may have changed, your dedication and performance at work will not. Make arrangements in advance as to what to do if you have to leave work at a moment’s notice for your family. 2. Be supportive: Support your partner and co-workers with their careers and growing families, and they will in exchange do the same for you.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.
