Feb 25, 2015: Townhall: O'Reilly, The Man Who Wasn't There?
Enter David Corn of the left-leaning Mother Jones magazine. Feb 20, 2015: Daily Beast: Bill O’Reilly Is No Brian Williams
On Friday’s Factor, the cable news king slammed Mother Jones magazine’s Washington bureau chief, David Corn, as “an irresponsible guttersnipe,” “a far-left zealot,” and “a liar” for Thursday’s detailed article—which Corn co-wrote with Daniel Schulman—that contradicted O’Reilly’s repeated assertions that he was “in a combat situation” while covering the 1982 war in the Falklands between Britain and Argentina.

Oct 22, 2014: Real Clear Politics: David Corn: Minorities "May Not Even Know That They're Not Being Allowed To Vote"
That's true. That's happening in Texas, North Carolina, Georgia. And when you do that, when people want to vote or they are thinking about an election, they do get ticked off and it motivates them. But the question is, as Wesley just indicated, they're so distant from this election that they may not even know that they're not being allowed to vote. And then you have candidates in some of these key states who are trying to -- Democratic candidates -- who are trying to distance themselves from Barack Obama. Alison Grimes, Kay Hagan. And so it's hard to have a two-level strategy. Sept 20, 2014: Real Clear Politics: David Corn: A Difference Between Opposing Iraq War and Being In Favor Of Stopping ISIS
We'll have to revisit the Syrian authorization but they can slip that into another bill. The leading members of Congress don't want a debate. In fact, it was one of the House Republicans that said I'll explain it to you very clearly: we would rather step back and if something goes good we can say great and if it goes back we can criticize and we have no responsibility. That's why most of these people want to approach the vote. But the thing is there's a very big difference here too between protesting the invasion of Iraq, which is on false pretenses with no plan but what to do afterwards gave us the situation now, with trying to figure out how to deal with actually a real problem which is ISIS, not necessarily an existential threat. |

David Corn (born February 20, 1959) is an American political journalist and author and the chief of the Washington bureau for Mother Jones. He has been Washington editor for The Nation and appeared regularly on FOX News, MSNBC, National Public Radio, and BloggingHeads.tv opposite James Pinkerton or other media personalities. In February 2013, he was named winner of the 2012 George Polk Award in journalism in the political reporting category for his video and reporting of the "47 percent story," Republican nominee Mitt Romney's videoed meeting with donors during the 2012 presidential campaign.
As an author, Corn's output includes nonfiction and fiction and generally deals with government and politics. Corn has also been a book reviewer. On one occasion, he criticized his own organization when Nation Books published the translation of a controversial French book on Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks. Forbidden Truth: US-Taliban Secret Oil Diplomacy and the Failed Hunt for Bin Laden, by Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquié, suggests that the attacks resulted from a breakdown in talks between the Taliban and the United States to run an oil pipeline through Afghanistan. Corn argued that publishing "contrived conspiracy theories" undermined the ability to expose actual governmental misbehavior.
