Michael E. Kinsley (born March 9, 1951) is an American political journalist and commentator.

Primarily active in print media as both a writer and editor, he also became known to television audiences as a co-host on Crossfire.

Kinsley was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Lillian (Margolis) and George Kinsley, who practiced medicine.

Kinsley is Jewish.

1970

Kinsley also served as managing editor of Washington Monthly (in the mid-1970s, while still in school), editor at Harper's (for a year and a half in the early 1980s), and American editor of The Economist (a short-term, honorary position).

1972

He attended the Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, then graduated from Harvard College in 1972.

At Harvard, Kinsley served as vice president of the university's daily newspaper, The Harvard Crimson.

He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship and studied at Magdalen College, Oxford, then returned to Harvard for law school.

While a third-year law student, Kinsley began working at The New Republic.

He was allowed to finish his Harvard juris doctor degree through courses at the evening program at George Washington University Law School.

1979

Kinsley's first exposure to a national television audience was as moderator of William Buckley's Firing Line. In 1979, he became editor of The New Republic and wrote the magazine's TRB column for most of the 1980s and 1990s.

That column was reprinted in a variety of newspaper op-ed pages, including The Washington Post, and made Kinsley's reputation as a leading political writer.

1986

He shared the 1986 Gerald Loeb Award for Commentary.

1989

From 1989 to 1995, Kinsley appeared on CNN's Crossfire, co-hosting with conservative Pat Buchanan.

Representing the liberal position in the televised political debates, Kinsley combined a dry wit with nerdy demeanor and analytical skills.

1990

He also appeared in three movies during the 1990s: Rising Sun (1993), Dave (also 1993), and The Birdcage (1996).

1995

In January 1995, Kinsley had a cameo on the first episode of the TV sitcom Women of the House, in which the show's main character, Suzanne Sugarbaker, was a guest on Crossfire.

After leaving Crossfire in 1995, Kinsley returned to his editorial roots, relocating to Seattle to become founding editor of Microsoft's online journal, Slate.

1998

(As a Microsoft vice president, she had managed the Microsoft news portion of the MSNBC merger, which included Slate.) Stonesifer has two adult children from a previous marriage.

She is president and CEO of Martha's Table, a non-profit that develops sustainable solutions to poverty.

He maintained his Seattle residence and often worked from there, commuting to Los Angeles on a part-time basis.
