'''Walter Lippmann'''<ref> His name is often misspelled with only one 'N'--as for example the ''Time'' cover shown here.</ref> (1889 - 1974), was an American journalist and commentator. Starting as a socialist he moved steadily to the right throughout his career, and was a conservative critic of the [[New Deal]]. He was the most influential journalist in America from the 1920s to the 1960s because of his analytic brilliance in putting today's news in deep perspective, his forceful writing style, his connections with major politicians, and - despite his changing views - his conservatism and belief in using the balance of power as a means for maintaining peace. Although he was a member of the inner ~~cirlcle~~ of the "establishment," he opposed every president from Theodore Roosevelt to Richard Nixon.
