Investor's Business Daily - Editorials

Editorials

Investors Business Daily also carries editorials and columns on topics from "economics and government to politics and culture". It carries columns from writers it describes as "On The Left and On The Right", including L. Brent Bozell, Richard Cohen, E. J. Dionne, Victor Davis Hanson, Charles Krauthammer, and Thomas Sowell. Pulitzer-winning cartoonist Michael Ramirez has worked for IBD since late 2005. Investors Business Daily also publishes editorials skeptical of peak oil and global warming, often proposing alternate solutions. The Times has characterized IBD as a "right-wing newspaper".

On July 31, 2009, an editorial in IBD touted the superiority of U.S. healthcare and argued that physicist Stephen Hawking "wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless." As Hawking has always lived in the U.K. and receives his medical care from the NHS, the editorial was widely criticized.
