About Mark Steyn in brief
Mark Steyn is a Canadian conservative author and commentator. He has written several books, including the New York Times bestsellers America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It and After America: Get Ready for Armageddon. Steyn has guest-hosted the nationally syndicated Rush Limbaugh Show, as well as Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News. From December 2016 to February 2017, Steyn hosted \”The Mark Steyn Show\” on the CRTV Digital Network. Following the cancellation of the show, CRTV sued Steyn who countersued. CRTV lost completely and Steyn prevailed in a judgment that was originally ordered by Judge Elaine Gordon and later confirmed by Judge Eileen Bransten in New York Supreme Court. He worked as a disc jockey before becoming musical theatre critic at the newly established The Independent in 1986. He was appointed film critic for The Spectator in 1992. He wrote a column for The Daily Telegraph, a conservative broadsheet, until 2006. As of 2010, he was no longer the back-page columnist for the print edition of National Review, conservative writer James Lileks having taken over that space in the print editions. He held a Eugene C. Pulliam Visiting Fellowship in Journalism at Hillsdale College in spring 2013. His books include Broadway Babies Say Goodnight: Musicals Then and Now and America Alone. He also published collections of his columns and his celebrity obituaries and profiles from The Atlantic.
In a May 2004 column Steyn commented that editors were encouraging anti-Bush sentiments after the Daily Mirror and The Boston Globe had published faked pictures, which originated on American and Hungarian pornographic Web sites, of British and American soldiers supposedly sexually abusing Iraqis. He argued that media only wanted to show images to Westerners that will shame and demoralize them. In July 2005 Steyn criticized Andrew Jaspan, then the editor of The Age, an Australian newspaper, who after his rescue referred to his captors as ‘arseholes’ Steyn argued that there is nothing at all wrong with insensitivity toward captors, who suffered from Stockholm syndrome. He said that it was Jaspa’s actions that led to the murder of Douglas Wood, who had to listen to his two captors murder him. He later wrote, ‘I’m not convinced one was never convinced of any crime.’ Steyn wrote a blog for Maclean’s covering the 2007 business fraud trial of his friend Conrad Black in Chicago, Chicago, from the point of view of Black, who never committed any crime of his own. In the blog, he wrote: ‘Do you really want to hold that against one’s hosts?’ He later said that he was ‘took me away from more lucrative duties as a book promotion and promotion as such as such a lucrative book author’ and ‘Took me from my gig at the Sun-Times and away from my lucrative book promotion’
