December 10 Luncheon Event to be Broadcast Live on WNED-AM
(Buffalo, NY) – Journalist, political commentator and award-winning author David Corn will present “Presidential Leadership in the Age of Obama” during the Buffalo City Forum and buffet luncheon on Wednesday, December 10 at 12:15 pm in the WNED studios, 140 Lower Terrace, Buffalo. After his speech, this prolific Washington insider will answer questions from the audience.
Corn shares his insights on the national political scene and its players through various media. He is the Washington editor of The Nation, the oldest political weekly in America, and a Fox News Channel contributor.
In addition to writing for a host of national newspapers and magazines, he contributes regularly as a panelist on the weekly television show, Eye On Washington and as well as on NPR’s The Diane Rehm Show and To The Point. He also writes the web column “Capital Games” for The Nation and two blogs.
His diverse topics encompass the White House, Congress and the national security establishment. He has broken stories on George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, Colin Powell, Rush Limbaugh, Enron, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon.
Corn’s books range from biography (Blond Ghost: Ted Shackley and the CIA’s Crusades) to fiction (the political thriller, Deep Background) to exposé (the New York Times bestseller The Lies of George W. Bush: Mastering the Politics of Deception). Most recently, he co-authored (with Michael Isikoff) Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal, and the Selling of the Iraq War.
BUFFALO CITY FORUM, produced by WNED-AM 970 and Leadership Buffalo, is open to the public. This quarterly speaker series is made possible by the support of lead sponsor Independent Health with additional support from Hunt Real Estate and M&T Bank.
