Mad Men harks back to an era when advertising was art and television was educational--maybe. Meanwhile, reality television gives us messages that seem to fit right in with a 1950s ethos--right down to the race, gender, and class politics. Television is everywhere, and everyone is talking about it, so we asked Anna McCarthy, NYU professor and author of The Citizen Machine: Governing by Television in 1950s America, and Jennifer Pozner, executive director of Women in Media and News and author of Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth about Guilty Pleasure TV, to join us to talk TV.Anna and Jenn discuss educational programming and escapism, Mad Men and mommy wars, and of course, the power of advertising in this Friday’s feature conversation.What is the key to happiness?

This new film by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick and John Page looks at the crisis caused by globalization, and suggests that maybe the solutions to our problems lie in the local economies, local culture and local communities that have been pushed aside to make way for corporate progress.To find out more or to support the film's completion, you can visit their website.This Wednesday was World AIDS day, but instead of honoring the lives lost to the disease, Republicans are attacking art that reflects on it. They're targeting a show at the National Portrait Gallery called Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.The gallery has pulled a video by David Wojnarowicz called "Fire In My Belly." John Boehner and the Catholic League complained that the video's use of Catholic imagery was an attack on their religion. Wojnarowicz died of AIDS-related complications in 1992, but Laura and Wojnarowicz's old friend Philip Yenawine have some thoughts, and we have a selection from his video. It may be disturbing, but censorship definitely is.
