Search - List of Books by Eric Burns
Eric Burns is an American media critic and journalist.
Burns was born and raised in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, a town approximately 20 miles northwest ofPittsburgh. He is a 1967 graduate of Westminster College, Pennsylvania. Burns began his career as a correspondent for NBC News where he appeared regularly on NBC Nightly News and on the Today show.
Burns has written five critically-saluted books, including The Founding Fathers and the Rowdy Beginnings of American Journalism, which was a History Book Club selection in 2006, and continues to work in television. He has worked as a commentator for Entertainment Tonight, host of Arts & Entertainment Revue on A&E, and is the former host of Fox News Channel's Fox News Watch, as well as a former media analyst for the network.
Burns has been critical of his former employer. In reaction to the news that Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., the owner of Fox News Channel (as well as The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal) had contributed $1 million dollar to the Republican Governors Association in 2010, he said that Fox News keeps leaning further and further to the right, and that while Fox news shows once brought some balance to TV news, it is now harder to tell the difference between the channel's news and opinion programs.
Burns is often confused with his namesake, the communications professional Eric Burns, who is the President of Media Matters for America.
