David Brooks Biography

David Brooks is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on August 11, 1961 in Toronto, Canada, Canada. Conservative political columnist for the New York Times. He also wrote for the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Times and provided political commentary for National Public Radio (NPR) and the PBS NewsHour.

He supported John McCain during the Senator’s 2008 bid for the American presidency.

Brooks was born in Toronto, Ontario, where his father was working on a PhD at the University of Toronto. He spent his early years in the middle-income Stuyvesant Town housing development in Lower Manhattan. His father taught English literature at New York University, while his mother studied nineteenth-century British history at Columbia University. Brooks was raised Jewish but rarely attends synagogue. As a young child, Brooks attended the Grace Church School, an independent Episcopal primary school in the East Village. When he was 12, his family moved to the Philadelphia Main Line, the affluent suburbs of Philadelphia. He graduated from Radnor High School in 1979. In 1983, Brooks graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in history. His senior thesis was on popular science writer Robert Ardrey.

Upon graduation, Brooks became a police reporter for the City News Bureau of Chicago, a wire service owned jointly by the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times. He says that his experience on Chicago’s crime beat had a conservatizing influence on him. In 1984, mindful of the offer he had received from Buckley, Brooks applied and was accepted as an intern at Buckley’s National Review. According to Christopher Beam, the internship included an all-access pass to the affluent lifestyle that Brooks had previously mocked, including yachting expeditions, Bach concerts, dinners at Buckley’s Park Avenue apartment and villa in Stamford, Connecticut, and a constant stream of writers, politicians, and celebrities.

In 1986, he married Jane Hughes, who subsequently converted to his Jewish faith and changed her name to Sarah Brooks. The marriage produced three children.

In 1983, he graduated with a degree in history from the University of Chicago.

Despite his conservative views, he adopted a liberal stance on same-sex marriage, voicing his support for the practice in the first years of the twenty-first century.

David Brooks (born August 11, 1961) is a Canadian-born American conservative political and cultural commentator who writes for The New York Times. He has worked as a film critic for The Washington Times, a reporter and later op-ed editor for The Wall Street Journal, a senior editor at The Weekly Standard from its inception, a contributing editor at Newsweek, and The Atlantic Monthly, and a commentator on NPR and the PBS NewsHour.

As early as 2003, Brooks wrote favorably of same-sex marriage, pointing out that marriage is a traditional conservative value. Rather than opposing it, he wrote: “We should insist on gay marriage. We should regard it as scandalous that two people could claim to love each other and not want to sanctify their love with marriage and fidelity … It’s going to be up to conservatives to make the important, moral case for marriage, including gay marriage.”

Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Brooks argued forcefully for American military intervention, echoing the belief of commentators and political figures that American and British forces would be welcomed as liberators. In 2005, Brooks wrote what columnist Jonathan Chait described as “a witheringly condescending” column portraying Senator Harry Reid as an “unhinged conspiracy theorist because he accused the [George W. Bush] administration of falsifying its Iraq intelligence.” By 2008, five years into the war, Brooks maintained that the decision to go to war was correct, but that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld had botched U.S. war efforts. In 2015, Brooks wrote that “[f]rom the current vantage point, the decision to go to war was a clear misjudgment” made in 2003 by President Bush and the majority of Americans who supported the war, including Brooks himself. Brooks wrote “many of us thought that, by taking down Saddam Hussein, we could end another evil empire, and gradually open up human development in Iraq and the Arab world. Has that happened? In 2004, I would have said yes. In 2006, I would have said no. In 2015, I say yes and no, but mostly no.” Citing the Robb-Silberman report, Brooks rejected as a “fable” the idea that “intelligence about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction was all cooked by political pressure, that there was a big political conspiracy to lie us into war.” Instead, Brooks viewed the war as a product of faulty intelligence, writing that “[t]he Iraq war error reminds us of the need for epistemological modesty.”

Brooks’ writing on sociology has been criticized for being based on stereotypes and presenting false claims as factual. In 2004, Sasha Issenberg, writing for Philadelphia magazine, fact-checked Bobos in Paradise, concluding that many of its comments about middle America were misleading or the exact reverse of the truth. He reported Brooks as insisting that the book was not intended to be factual but to report his impressions of what he believed an area to be like: “He laughed … ‘[The book was] partially tongue-in-cheek’…I went through some of the other instances where he made declarations that appeared insupportable. He accused me of being ‘too pedantic,’ of ‘taking all of this too literally,’ of ‘taking a joke and distorting it.’ ‘That’s totally unethical’, he said.” Brooks later said the article made him feel that “I suck…I can’t remember what I said but my mother told me I was extremely stupid.” In 2015, Salon found that Brooks had got “nearly every detail” wrong about a poll of high-school students.
