The Healing Power of Mahler's 10th Symphony

Gustav Mahler’s Tenth Symphony is about death, and acceptance. It released me from the memory of a day at Auschwitz.

What's All This Business About Media Bias?

How Media Bias Works 101, as demostrated by Brian Williams of NBC

To those who don't share his worldview, Brian Williams of NBC had long been considered one of the most biased, partisan, agenda-driven and therefore fundamentally dishonest of the mainstream broadcasters. He dealt with revelations that he had lied on his resume in ways identical to the ones he used to craft a news presentation that supported and sometimes promoted his own partisan worldview, while disguising itself as an objective newscast. Here's how he and others do it.
