Meet Bill Press

Bill Press began his career as a political insider and media commentator on KABC-TV and KCOP-TV, both in Los Angeles.

The former co-host of MSNBC’s Buchanan and Press, CNN’s Crossfire and The Spin Room, Press has built a national reputation on thought-provoking and humorous insights from the left side of the political aisle.

Press has received numerous awards for his work, including four Emmys and a Golden Mike Award. In 1992, the Associated Press named him Best Commentator of the Year.

Press is the author of four books: Spin This! (Atria, 2002), Bush Must Go! (Dutton Books, 2004), How The Republicans Stole Christmas (Doubleday, 2005) and his latest, Trainwreck (Wiley, 2008). Press also writes a nationally syndicated newspaper column, distributed weekly by Tribune Media Services.
