Fred Barnes Executive Editor, The Weekly Standard • • • • • • FRED BARNES is executive editor of The Weekly Standard. From 1985 to 1995, he served as senior editor and White House correspondent for The New Republic. He covered the Supreme Court and the White House for the Washington Star before moving on to the Baltimore Sun in 1979. He served as the national political correspondent for the Sun and wrote the Presswatch media column for the American Spectator. He is host, along with Mort Kondracke, of the Beltway Boys on FOX News, where he also appears regularly on Special Report with Brit Hume. Mr. Barnes graduated from the University of Virginia and was a Neiman Fellow at Harvard University. The following is adapted from a speech delivered in Palm Beach, Florida, on February 22, 2006, at a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar on “The News Media in the Twenty-First Century.” et me begin by defining three terms that are thrown around in debates about the media today. The first is objectivity, which means reporting the news with none of your own political views L or instincts slanting the story one way or another. Perfect objectivity is pretty hard for anyone to attain, but it can be approximated. Then there’s fairness. Fairness concedes that there may be some slant in a news story, but requires that a reporter will be honest and not misleading with regard to those with whom he disagrees.

Hank Paulson became Treasury Secretary last July only after prolonged negotiations over his role as chief economic policymaker. To lure Paulson Sachs chief, is the new to Washington, the President gave him extraordinary authority to manage economic policy on both the domes- Treasury Secretary. tic and international fronts. Paulson, from the outset of his tenure, matches TSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as a Cabinet member with the discretion to act on his own without White House interference. Last spring, Paulson, then head of Goldman Sachs, the giant investment banking firm, rejected an offer to become the top finance minister. He declined to meet with Bush, fearing it would be impossible to turn down a personal request by the President. His family was leery of his coming to Washington. And Paulson had doubts that Bush would have enough political clout left in his Administration to promote a significant agenda in 2007 and 2008. But Josh Bolten, the White House chief of staff who worked for Goldman Sachs before joining the Bush presidential campaign in 1999, kept after Paulson—and changed his mind.

  • A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts And
    A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF TELEVISION POLITICAL PUNDITS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Paul M. Hitlin, B.A. Washington, D.C. April 25, 2005 A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF TELEVISION POLITICAL PUNDITS Paul M. Hitlin, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Diana Owen, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Following the conclusion of the first 2004 presidential debate between George W. Bush and John Kerry, television political pundits immediately began to assess the performances of each candidate. Two particular elements of the debate were hardly mentioned, but became significant topics of discussion within a few days: Kerry’s use of the term “global test” and Bush’s physical appearance. Television pundits played a key role in framing these two elements as historical memories that became the centerpieces of subsequent conversations about the event. This paper examines the institution of the television pundit and the role they play in shaping political discourse. I propose that during the first hours of television coverage after the event, there would be a variation of discussions among pundits on different networks. Then over the next five days, the tone of discussions and topics would converge as pundits began to reflect the opinions expressed by those on other channels. To test these hypotheses, I first provided a definition of the term “pundit” and then discussed the history and influences that shape the modern occupation. Next, I conducted a content analysis of the statements made on 42 talk shows that appeared across six networks during the six days following the debate.

This report is sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day.

President Obama today earlier in Maryland talking about the unemployment rate dropping to 9.7, but the markets tanked on that news because almost all of the jobs were created were for the census, as he talked about. He's down in the Gulf region right now and he has cancelled a planned trip to Australia and to Indonesia because of the Gulf oil spill. He is dealing with a lot. How is he doing?

I’m Bill Kristol, and I’m very pleased to be joined today by my friend and colleague, Fred Barnes. Fred, thanks for taking the time to do this. BARNES: Well, glad to be here. KRISTOL: So I came to Washington in 1985 but I had already read you for a decade before then covering the White House. How did that happen? BARNES: Well, I was covering the White House for The New Republic magazine, which everyone knows now was a very, very liberal magazine. It wasn’t that liberal then. The owner was Marty Peretz, who was sort of, he’d come sort of halfway down the neoconservative trail, and Charles Krauthammer, of course, was the big foreign policy writer there. And so it was very congenial. The New Republic had a column for a long time called “White House Watch,” and it was very good. It was written for years by a man named John Osborne, then he was replaced by Mort Kondracke, my friend, and, of course, you know, who was in 1985 was hired to be the bureau chief for Newsweek. So he left. And I had gotten to know a little bit Mike Kinsley, who was then the editor of The New Republic, and they hired me to come in and really write this “White House Watch” column, which I did, almost every week.
