Longtime newspaper columnist takes to the airwaves
Don Feder, a syndicated conservative columnist and former editorial writer for the Boston Herald, is starting his own talk radio show this week on WROL 950 AM in Boston from 3 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. WROL is a Salem Communications station.
"I'll be doing a straight conservative talk show, hitting local, national and international issues. I intend to do lots of interviews," Feder said. "I'll be hitting a broad range –terrorism, the Middle East, taxes and education — including some of my favorites, abortion, homosexuality, pornography and religious expression."
Feder has spoken at two CWA national conventions and appeared numerous times on Beverly LaHaye Live and once on the Sandy Rios Show on WYLL Chicago, before Rios became president of CWA. He was recently quoted in Family Voice magazine concerning merchants' abandonment of "Merry Christmas" for the generic "happy holiday."
A Boston Herald editorial writer and syndicated columnist from June 1983 to June 2002, Feder published his 2,000th column on February 28, 2002.
Feder's column was syndicated by Creator's Syndicate in Los Angeles, and carried by more than 40 newspapers and e-magazines nationwide.
His writings have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, National Review, American Enterprise, Reader's Digest and Human Events. The author of two books, A Jewish Conservative Looks at Pagan America (1993) and Who's Afraid of the Religious Right? (1996), Feder has traveled extensively in Europe, Latin America and Asia. He was in Belgrade two weeks after the bombing ended in 1999.
He is the 1998 recipient of the International Communications Award of the Republic of China on Taiwan and the winner of the first-place prize in the Amy Foundation Writing Awards for 1993. The Amy Foundation recognizes writers who project Biblical truths in the secular media.
Feder has addressed the annual conventions or meetings of the Rabbinical Council of America, Concerned Women for America, Toward Tradition, the Christian Coalition, National Right to Life Committee, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the College Republicans, Empower America, the Council for National Policy, the Heritage Foundation, Family Research Council, and World Affairs Councils of Boston and Portland, Maine.
He has appeared on C-Span and many other radio and television shows, including Politically Incorrect, The 700 Club, Focus on the Family, Beverly LaHaye Live, the Coral Ridge Hour and Jerry Falwell's Listen America. Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura have read his columns on the air.
Feder is a 1969 graduate of the Boston University College of Liberal arts and a 1972 graduate of the Boston University Law School. He is admitted to the practice of law in New York and Massachusetts.
He served as executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation, executive director of the Second Amendment Foundation and editorial director of WEEI Newsradio in Boston.
He has a media consulting firm, Don Feder Associates, and a Web site, donfeder.com. His third book, The Tattered Flag: The Fight for America in the 21st Century, is due out in September from Smith and Kraus Publishers.
