Daniel Johnson (journalist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Johnson is the editor of Standpoint, a monthly magazine of culture and politics launched in May 2008. He is the son of the author Paul Johnson.
Johnson worked until recently as an associate editor of The Daily Telegraph, before becoming a freelance writer in 2005. His book on chess in the Cold War, "Red King, White Queen" was published by Atlantic Books in 2007.
He currently writes a weekly opinion column in The New York Sun which is very sympathetic to neo-conservative viewpoints. In his article of 25 November 2005 about the Al Jazeera bombing memo taunted the press outrage that had occurred, and added: "shutting down Al Jazeera would be desirable from the Anglo-American point of view... [I]f Qatar, a Gulf state that is nominally an ally of America (on which it relies for its independence), has allowed its capital to become Al Qaeda's principal propaganda base, it has no right to expect America automatically to refrain from punitive action on its territory."[1]
