Jeff Kuhner
Jeffrey Thomas Kuhner (born 1 September 1969) is an American talk radio host and political commentator, heard on weekdays from 6 am to 10 am on WRKO AM 680 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the editor of Insight on the News and a regular contributor to the commentary pages of The Washington Times, and his articles have appeared in Human Events, National Review Online, and Investor's Business Daily.
Kuhner was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, to Croatian immigrant parents and graduated from Laval Catholic High School.
He received his undergraduate degree from Concordia University in Montreal and his master's degree from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Kuhner did PhD coursework at Ohio University in the United States but did not complete a dissertation.
Kuhner was an academic lecturer who taught Modern United States History at McGill University in Montreal, Canada from 1998 to 2000.
In 2000, being disappointed by being offered only a one year extension to his appointment by the university and citing "the political correctness ... prevalent in academia" on his website, he left the university to become an assistant national editor at The Washington Times. In 2003, he left the newspaper to work for the Republican policy group the Ripon Society as communications director of the Ripon Forum.
Kuhner was the editor of the US news magazine website Insight on the News from October 2005 until its closing in May 2008. Simultaneously, Kuhner worked at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, an education-policy organization, as its communications director. He was president of the Edmund Burke Institute for American Renewal, a now-dormant Washington D.C. think tank devoted to integrating minorities into the conservative movement. Until January 2012, the Burke Institute produced an online monthly magazine, Reflections, to which he regularly contributed.
In 2007, Insight on the News claimed that the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton planned to accuse rival Barack Obama of attending a madrasa. Insight's story praised Obama's character in contrast to Hillary Clinton. Kuhner described Obama as "genteel, articulate, poised and charming. He is a Harvard-educated lawyer, yet he remains accessible to the common man." Five years later, however, Kuhner wrote in the Washington Times: "President Obama's re-election was more than a victory for liberalism. It represented America's collective suicide—a national push into a fiscal, cultural and moral abyss. We are sliding toward Greece."
In October 2008, Kuhner wrote: "Moscow's main aim is to wrest the Crimean Peninsula from Kiev's control. A majority of the Crimea’s inhabitants are ethnic Russians. ... But Ukraine is not Georgia; it is a large, militarily powerful country with long memories of Russian domination. Any attempt at partition by Moscow would be met by fierce resistance. It would spark a bloody Russo-Ukrainian war. This would inevitably drag in Poland and the Baltic States – all of which are members of NATO. Mr. Putin’s bellicose nationalism threatens to ignite a European conflagration."
