Howard Kurtz
Howard Kurtz is the host of Media Buzz, FOX News' Sunday morning media show and the No. 1 program in its time slot for three years, and has interviewed President Trump a half-dozen times in covering the escalating battle with those he calls "fake news." He analyzes media and politics on such programs as Special Report and America's Newsroom, writes a daily column for FoxNews.com and has castigated the media establishment for mocking, minimizing and misunderstanding Trump.
Kurtz previously hosted CNN's Reliable Sources for a decade and a half. A 29-year veteran of The Washington Post, he covered eight presidential campaigns and the fallout from war, scandal and impeachment. His New York Times best-selling book, Spin Cycle, is the first behind-the-scenes account of the Clinton White House political operation and how it shaped the news by manipulating, misleading, and in some cases, intimidating the press. He is also an investigative journalist who exposed the two biggest journalistic frauds of the last decade: Jayson Blair of The New York Times and Jack Kelley of USA Today. Widely recognized as the leading reporter in holding the media accountable, Kurtz functions as a kind of internal affairs cop. He explores questions of bias, blunders, sensationalism and celebrity fixation in the profession that loves to point fingers at everyone else.
