Joe Conason

Joe Conason is a United States-based journalist and author and is a noted commentator for liberal positions. He writes a column for the weekly New York Observer newspaper, and is the author of the book "Big Lies" (2003), which addresses myths which conservatives spread about liberals.

He attempts to debunk views such as:

• Liberals are rich, conservatives are plain-folk.
• Liberals want to take away your freedom (to smoke cigarettes, make controversial statements), while conservatives promote freedom.
