Why Not More Pipes

Reader comment on item: Television in Time of War

Submitted by Dr. Lee D. Cary (United States), Aug 2, 2005 at 17:15

When I mention Daniel Pipes to others, I find I usually have to describe who he is and what he says. This guy should be a media fixture. He should have an office in the WH. He not only understands what's happening, he can articulate it with compelling language. Why in heck isn't he a regular on Meet the Press, and Fox News Sunday, Face the Nation, et al?
