    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.

    NPR’s Nina Totenberg Is Constitution Day Speaker at Stockton College on Sept. 17 For Immediate Release; Monday, September 08, 2014 Contact: Maryjane Briant News and Media Relations Director Galloway Township, NJ 08205 [email protected] (609) 652-4593 Galloway Township, NJ -Nina Totenberg, award-winning legal affairs correspondent for National Public Radio, will be the keynote speaker for this year’s celebration of Constitution Day on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. Totenberg will speak in the Campus Center Event Room at 6 p.m. Her reports air regularly on NPR's critically acclaimed newsmagazines, All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and Weekend Edition. Her coverage of legal affairs and the Supreme Court has won her widespread recognition. She is also a regular panelist on Inside Washington, a weekly syndicated public affairs television program produced in the nation's capital. Before joining NPR in 1975, Totenberg served as Washington editor of New Times Magazine, and before that she was the legal affairs correspondent for the National Observer. She’s been honored eight times by the American Bar Association, won every major journalism award in broadcasting, and is the only radio journalist to have won the National Press Foundation award for Broadcaster of the Year. NPR received the prestigious Peabody Award for its 1991 gavel-to- gavel coverage--anchored by Totenberg--of the inquiry into Anita Hill's allegations against Clarence Thomas, and for Totenberg's reports and exclusive interview with Hill. On the non- broadcasting side of her career, she has written for newspapers and periodicals, from the New York Times Magazine to the Harvard Law Review.

  • Deception in Weight-Loss Advertising Workshop
    DECEPTION IN WEIGHT-LOSS ADVERTISING WORKSHOP: Seizing Opportunities and Building Partnerships to Stop Weight-Loss Fraud A Federal Trade Commission Staff Report December 2003 Federal Trade Commission TIMOTHY J. MURIS, Chairman MOZELLE W. THOMPSON, Commissioner ORSON SWINDLE, Commissioner THOMAS B. LEARY, Commissioner PAMELA JONES HARBOUR, Commissioner This is a report of the Bureau of Consumer Protection of the Federal Trade Commission. The views expressed in this report are those of the staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the Federal Trade Commission or any individual Commissioner. The Commission has voted to authorize the staff to publish this report. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Offi ce of the Surgeon General Rockville MD 20857 We are witnessing a growing epidemic of obesity in this country. This epidemic not only costs this nation over $117 billion a year, but it also steals 300,000 lives. Unfortunately, there is no miracle pill that can help Americans lose excess weight, so we have to rely on responsible behavior – including eating right and being physically active. The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity, released in December 2001, called upon almost every segment of the public and private sectors to work together to help Americans make healthy eating and physical activity choices. By improving our nation’s “health literacy” we can ensure that Americans have the information and tools they need to make effective decisions that will improve their overall health and lead to longer, healthier lives. The media can play an important role in educating consumers by providing accurate information about weight loss programs and weight management products.

  • 2019 AIM Program
    A Message from ASABE President Maury Salz Welcome to the 2019 Annual International Meeting (AIM) of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers in Boston, Massachusetts. I extend a special welcome to first time participants, international attendees and pre-professionals. I am confident you will find the meeting a welcoming and stimulating investment of your time. AIM offers a wide array of opportunities for you to gain knowledge in technical sessions, make new or catch-up with old friends at social events, contribute to the ongoing growth efforts in technical communities, and to celebrate the accomplishments of peers in the awards ceremonies. I highly encourage you to engage in the opening keynote session by GreenBiz’s Joel Makower and the following panel discussion on sustainability and the need for a national strategy, which could alter how we live. We as individuals, and collectively as ASABE, will be challenged to think about how this broader vision of sustainability could fundamentally change our lives and the profession. I want to thank our friends at Cornell University for serving as local hosts and the volunteer coordinators. Students work as volunteers to enhance the experience for all meeting participants and you can locate them by their blue shirts. Please thank them when you have the chance. Boston is rich in history and be sure to take some time to experience what this unique area has to offer. I also encourage you to participate actively in AIM and reflect on how you can advance the Society goals to benefit yourself personally and the people of the world.
