Timothy P. Carney (born c. 1978) is a conservative journalist in Washington, D.C.
A native of Pelham, New York, and a graduate of St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, Carney is a protege of the late journalist Robert Novak.[1]
In his position as senior political columnist at The Washington Examiner, Carney works with Michael Barone and Byron York. Previously, Carney had been the lobbying editor of The Examiner, in which capacity he investigated how interest groups distort the political process.[1]
Stephen G. Smith, senior editor of The Examiner, said that Carney "understands better than any [other] journalist in Washington how political money and friends in high places often trump the public interest. . . . like [Robert] Novak he's a tough and enterprising reporter."[1]
Earlier, Carney was a senior reporter and editor at the defunct Evans-Novak Political Report, a newsletter published by Rowland Evans and Robert Novak. His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, American Spectator magazine, and the Huffington Post.[1] He has been a guest panelist on PBS's The McLaughlin Group commentary program.
Carney's 2009 work, "Obamanomics", in the words of commentator Jonah Goldberg, is "conservative muckraking at its best." Carney's first book, "The Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money," won two major distinctions, Templeton Enterprise Award from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the Lysander Spooner Award in 2006 for the "best book on liberty."[1]
