Ann Coulter: The Tyrant of the Press
By: MILLIE KIM
Ann Coulter built a reputation as one of Americas most ruthless and conservative columnists,
earning a title as, The Tyrant of the Press. Ann Coulters boldness enables her to criticize
politicians on a daily basis. She leaves an impression that no other columnist can follow. Her ability
to criticize, bring humor, and take sides in politics are unique features that differentiates her from
other writers. She stands by all her statements no matter how shocking, including calling John
Edwards a "faggot," Barack Obama a "retard", and saying women should be stripped of their right
to vote.
Born on Dec. 8th, 1961 in New York City, she was educated on Republican politics. She and her
two older brothers grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut where she finished her studies at New
Canaan High School in 1980. Soon afterwards, in 1984, she graduated from Cornell University with
a B.A. in history and earned her law degree at the University of Michigan Law School. In
Michigan, she became an editor for the Michigan Law review, and trained at the National
Journalism Center.
Afterwards, Coulters strong interest in law took her to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in
1995, where she dealt with crime and immigration issues. According to Wikipedia, from there, she
became a litigator with the Center For Individual Rights in Washington. Coulters first public
appearance was when MSNBC hired her in 1996 as a legal correspondent. The moment she stepped
into the public, she started disrespecting U.S. Ambassadors and Pamela Harriman, an English-born
socialite. Thus, she was dismissed by the channel twice. Since then, she has made frequent
appearances on television for her explicit nature of criticizing politicians.
Coulters career is not only highlighted by her achievements in journalism, but also in the
publication of books. Although the books she publishes portrays Democrats as idiots and no
brainers, they are all New York Times Best Sellers. Her first, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The
Case Against Bill Clinton, talks about her case she used against him in the Paula Jones VS Bill
Clinton case. According to Ann Coulters personal website, her other books include 2003's Treason:
Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, 2007's If Democrats Had Any
Brains, They'd Be Republicans, and 2011's Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering
America.
Compared to other columnists such as Paul Krugman, a neo-conservative columnist, Coulter
remains strictly supportive of her own bias. Her ideas about banning gay-marriage, punishing
Obama, and continuing drone strikes arouse great controversy.
As a prominent columnist, Diana Walker, agrees, Coulter has never failed to stir up her audiences.
