- A former chairwoman of the Republican Jewish Coalition
was chosen to lead the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Cheryl Halpern
was elected by the corporation's board Monday to replace Kenneth Tomlinson,
whose term as chair expired. As a board member, Halpern has been critical
of Middle East reporting by National Public Radio, which the board oversees.
"We have a duty to provide the public an explanation for the kind
of work we do," Halpern said in Washington after being elected. "And
we must honor the principles clearly stated in our charter, to encourage
objective and balanced programming." Halpern is a New Jersey attorney
and real estate developer, and is an influential Republican donor. In addition
to the RJC, she is active with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy
and the Anti-Defamation League.

- This is the danger of state run media. When the view
of the state no longer matches your own, your tax dollars will be used
against your interests.

bus displayed and discussed on Sessame Street.
