Charles Krauthammer
Charles Krauthammer is an American columnist, author, journalist for The Washington Post, and political commentator on FOX news' 'Special Report with Bret Braier'. Many AllSides community members agree with the AllSides Bias Rating™ of 'lean right,' however, many have also rated him 'right' as of July 2017. While he does support neoconservatism, he still advocates some liberal causes, therefore, Krauthammer's bias leans right, according to AllSides.
Editorial page editor, Meg Greenfield, edited Krauthammer's columns for 15 years, and she described his weekly columns as "independent and hard to peg politically" because "you never know what's going to happen next." Hendrik Hertzberg, Krauthammer's former colleague at the New Republic, described Krauthammer's political ideology in the 1980s to be "50-50: fairly liberal on economic and social questions, but a full-bore foreign-policy neoconservative." Now, he calls him a "solid 90-10 Republican." In a speech given by Krauthammer in 2005, he explains that neoconservatism is "a governing ideology whose time has come."

I repeat: I’m not a global warming believer. I’m not a global warming denier. I’ve long believed that it cannot be good for humanity to be spewing tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. I also believe that those scientists who pretend to know exactly what this will cause in 20, 30 or 50 years are white-coated propagandists.
“The debate is settled,” asserted propagandist in chief Barack Obama in his latest State of the Union address. “Climate change is a fact.” Really? There is nothing more anti-scientific than the very idea that science is settled, static, impervious to challenge. Take a non-climate example. It was long assumed that mammograms help reduce breast cancer deaths. This fact was so settled that Obamacare requires every insurance plan to offer mammograms (for free, no less) or be subject to termination.
