I'm not at all impressed with his so called honors... We have MANY professors at MANY top Universities who have many graduate honors, and who are equally Leftwing, and many more so. Award-winning investigative reporter Dave Lindorff has been working as a journalist for 33 years. A regular columnist for CounterPunch (www.counterpunch.org), he also writes frequently for Extra! (www.fair.org) and Salon magazine (www.salon.com), as well as for Businessweek, the Nation and Treasury&Risk Management Magazine. In the late 1970s, he ran the Daily News bureau covering Los Angeles County government, and in the mid-'90s, spent several years as a correspondent in Hong Kong and China for Businessweek. Over the years he has written for such publications as Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Village Voice, Forbes, The London Observer and the Australian National Times. Author, with Barbara Olshansky, of the forthcoming book The Case for Impeachment: Legal Arguments for Removing President George W. Bush from Office (St. Martin's Press, April 2006), he is also the author of three earlier books-- This Can't Be Happening! Resisting the Disintegration of American Democracy (Common Courage Press, 2004), Marketplace Medicine: The Rise of the For Profit Hospital Chains (Bantam, 1992), an investigative report on the for-profit hospital industry, and Killing Time: An Investigation into the Death Row Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal (Common Courage Press, 2003), the only independent examination of this important capital case. A two-time Fulbright Scholar (Shanghai, China and Kaohsiung, Taiwan), he is a 1975 graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and received a B.A. in Chinese in 1972 from Wesleyan University. In October 2004, he was awareded a coveted "Most Censored Story of 2003" award by Project Censored (for his Oct. 16, 2003 story in Salon about the Pentagon's quiet efforts to gear up the machinery for a return to the draft). A founding member of the National Writers Union, and a member of the steering committee of the NWU Philadelphia local, for the past nine years, he has lived with his family just outside Philadelphia. What others are saying about LindorffFrom the left: "It's writers like him who have saved the honor of American journalism when the mainstream pundits had their heads buried deep in the sand." -- Alexander Cockburn, CounterPunch And from the Right: "Guys like Lindorff can cloak their madness in political rhetoric, but that doesn't change what it is -- madness" --James Taranto, Wall Street Journal "Lindorff is not an obscure, solitary blogger" --Byron York, National Review
