David Sirota

David Sirota is a political journalist, nationally syndicated weekly newspaper columnist, and best-selling author living in Denver. His new book, The Uprising, is being released in May 2008. Sirota is widely known for his reporting on political corruption, globalization and working-class economic issues often ignored by both of America's political parties. The New York Times has called him a "populist rabble-rouser" with a "take-no-prisoners mind-set," while the Philadelphia Daily News labeled him "a progressive powerhouse." His weekly column, which was launched by Creators Syndicate in fall 2007, now appears in newspapers and has a combined daily circulation of more than 1.6 million readers. Newspapers running Sirota's column include, among others, the Denver Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Seattle Times, the Idaho Statesman, the Everett Herald, and the Idaho Falls Post Register.
