David Freddoso is an American political conservative commentator, journalist, and author, best known for writing three books critical of the Barack Obama administration as well as for his columns for the National Review Online and the Washington Examiner. The first book, The Case Against Barack Obama, reached the New York Times bestseller list as well as the Amazon.com official Top 20 list. Having worked in politics since 2002, his latest book is Spin Masters: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Re-elect Barack Obama, which he published January 28, 2013. His writings have involved criticism of what he sees as left-liberal media bias in the American journalistic mainstream.
Originally from South Bend, Indiana, Freddoso studied Classical Greek at the University of Notre Dame (1999) and earned a master's in journalism at Columbia's Pulitzer School (2000) before covering southwest Brooklyn at the weekly Home Reporter and Sunset News. In 2002 he worked at the conservative weekly newspaper Human Events. He went on to work at the National Review where he covered Capitol Hill for six years, and served as an assistant for columnist Robert Novak for three years at the Evans–Novak Political Report. A former editorial page editor at the Washington Examiner, he is now serving as a regular columnist.
