Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was an English American author and journalist whose career spanned more than four decades. Hitchens, often referred to colloquially as "Hitch", was a columnist and literary critic for New Statesman, The Atlantic, The Nation, The Daily Mirror, The Times Literary Supplement and Vanity Fair. He was an author of twelve books and five collections of essays. As a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits, he was a prominent public intellectual, and his confrontational style of debate made him both a lauded and controversial figure.
Hitchens was known for his admiration of George Orwell, Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, as well as for his excoriating critiques of various public figures including Mother Teresa, Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger and Diana, Princess of Wales. Although he supported the Falklands War, his key split from the established political left began in 1989 after what he called the "tepid reaction" of the Western left to the Rushdie Affair. The September 11 attacks strengthened his internationalist embrace of an interventionist foreign policy, and his vociferous criticism of what he called "fascism with an Islamic face." His numerous editorials in support of the Iraq War caused some to label him a neoconservative, although Hitchens insisted he was not "a conservative of any kind", and his friend Ian McEwan describes him as representing the anti-totalitarian left.

Moderator John McLaughlin along with four commentators are present — usually Pat Buchanan, Eleanor Clift, Rich Lowry, and either Clarence Page or Mort Zuckerman. The identity of the regular panelists has varied over the years. One (or sometimes even two) of the four seats may be filled by a “guest” commentator if any regular is not present that week.

A typical episode covers three or four issues. The first is introduced by McLaughlin, beginning with, "Issue one..." which is explained by him, usually in a prerecorded video segment accompanied by his voice-over. He then proposes a question for the panelists, starting with Buchanan (if present). The conversation is usually sedate at the beginning of the program, but as opposing viewpoints emerge there is more verbal rough-housing, good-natured gamesmanship and occasionally very loud crosstalk as panelists attempt to out-yell the others, all of which are the show's trademarks.^[1] The panelists are supposed to yield when McLaughlin speaks, and he sometimes reminds them of that rule during the show. McLaughlin will usually present an "Exit question..." so that each panelist may make a closing remark on the issue. Subsequent issues (possibly separated by advertising breaks on commercial stations) are begun by McLaughlin in a similar fashion, but open heated debate begins more quickly.

Time permitting, McLaughlin may ask the panelists for "Predictions" at the close of the episode, at which time each panelist makes a near or long term prediction on a topic of his or her own choosing. Occasionally McLaughlin will ask for a "Forced prediction" from the panelists regarding a specific question, such as, "What will the unemployment rate be at the end of 2009? Forced prediction, Pat Buchanan...." Other questions may close the show as well (ex. "Who will win the election Tuesday? Pat.."), but if time is tight he may simply end with, "Out of time. Bye-BYE." and tack on a holiday greeting, if applicable that week.

PBS stations sometimes show extra footage not seen on the commercial stations at the end of the show. Since there are no commercial breaks, and the transitions for commercial breaks are removed, time sometimes permits predictions or a relatively frivolous or disjointed final topic.

Two episodes at the turn of the calendar year are reserved for “The McLaughlin Group 19XX/20XX Year-End Awards.” Each panelist announces his or her choice for each category such as “Biggest Winner of 2008,” ”Best Politician,” “Most Boring,” “Turncoat of the Year,” “Enough Already,” “Most Underrated,” etc., followed by McLaughlin’s choice. During the second of these special episodes, the participants dress in formal eveningwear.

McLaughlin's in-show personality [link]

The show is known for the quirky style of McLaughlin, who makes witty, sometimes arguably outlandish, predictions based on current events (on March 23, 2007, his prediction was, "The next man on the moon will be Chinese!"), and his question style. He speaks with a stentorian voice such as when he shouts "Issue [number]..." before describing a news story. A phrase he often begins questions to the panelists with, "On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 representing zero possibility and 10 representing complete metaphysical certitude,...?". For the show aired before Thanksgiving, McLaughlin ends with, "Happy Thanksgiving, Gobble Gobble!" He often teased panelists by giving them obscure nicknames, e.g. "Freddy 'The Beadle' Barnes" or making inside comments about their wealth and such. He especially tends to rib Buchanan, whom he has known since 1970 and who has been a panelist for much of the show's history.

The tone of McLaughlin's program, though often argumentative as with many other "Point–Counterpoint" style programs, is also somewhat different, due to the personal touch of McLaughlin and the panelists. McLaughlin's role often resembles a professorial figure, asking follow-up questions and trying to elicit further responses from a panelist who thinks he or she has fully answered the question, as if McLaughlin were conducting a Socratic class at a university. The panelists of opposite political views (literally on the "left" and "right" of McLaughlin) often agree with each other, or disagree with their supposed political kin on specific points or topics. The personal closeness among some members of the group is clear, as when McLaughlin, in a spring 2005 broadcast, made special mention of the death of Clift's husband at the end of the program, and extended condolences on behalf of the panel.

Criticism [link]

Journalists James Fallows and ex-McLaughlin panelist Jack Germond have opined that the show glories too much in sensationalism and simplification, to the detriment of serious journalism.^{[citation needed]}

In popular culture [link]

Ronald Reagan, while in office as US president, once referred to McLaughlin and his group as taking the format of a Sunday morning television roundtable and turning it into "a political version of 'Animal House'."^[2]

McLaughlin’s style has been parodied by many comedians and other commentators, most notably Dana Carvey of Saturday Night Live. McLaughlin made a cameo on one of Carvey’s parody sketches, and adopted some of his gags (such as the “metaphysical certitude” line and occasionally referring to Eleanor Clift as “Eleanor, Gee I Think You’re Swell-anor”). The program has also been included in a few major films, including Dave, Murder at 1600 and Independence Day.

Singer Andrew WK has recorded a 47-second song called “McLaughlin Groove” based on dialogue between McLaughlin and Buchanan on the topics of the untimely death of Senator Paul Wellstone, Carl Sandburg’s “Fog” and the prediction of a Chinese moon-landing.

In the movie Watchmen, the group is satirized discussing the nature of Dr. Manhattan.^[3]

Popular gaming podcast The D6 Generation begins each show with a parody of McLaughlin Group based on the content in that show.

Syndication [link]

In the US, the show is carried on numerous public broadcasting stations, and as of May 2007 a small number of CBS-affiliated stations.^[4] Most stations carry the program on weekends, but there are a few, like WGBH in Boston, Kentucky Educational Television stations across Kentucky and PBS channel 8 KUHT in Houston that run it on Friday evenings. Internationally, the show is carried on several satellite channels, such as Voice of America TV and was on the London based CNBC Europe.^[5] It is also carried by CTV in Christchurch, New Zealand, and by Triangle TV in Auckland, New Zealand.

Up until May 2008, the program originated from WRC-TV, the NBC-owned station in Washington, D.C. As of now, the show is produced at WUSA-TV, the Gannett-owned CBS affiliate for Washington, D.C.^[6]

Biography [link]

Schmidt was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. After graduating from Yorktown High School,^[7] Schmidt attended Princeton University where he earned a B.S. in electrical engineering in 1976.^[8] At the University of California, Berkeley, he earned an MS in 1979 for designing and implementing a network linking the campus computer center, the CS and the EECS departments,^[9] and a PhD in 1982 in EECS with a dissertation about the problems of managing distributed software development and tools for solving these problems.^[10] He was joint author of lex (a lexical analyzer and an important tool for compiler construction). He taught at Stanford Graduate School of Business as a part time professor.^[11]

Schmidt and his wife Wendy lived in Atherton, California in 1999.^[12] In 2011, he was reported to be dating Lisa Shields, a communications executive for the Council on Foreign Relations, a New York-based foreign policy think tank.^[13].

He was on the list of ARTnews 200 top art collectors in 2008.^[14]

He is also a member of the Bilderberg Group and attended the Swiss 2011 Bilderberg conference in St. Moritz, Switzerland.^[15]^[16]

The Eric Schmidt Family Foundation [link]

The Eric Schmidt Family Foundation addresses issues of sustainability and the responsible use of natural resources. Wendy and Eric Schmidt, working with Heart Howerton, a San Francisco architectural firm that specializes in large-scale land use, have inaugurated several projects on the island of Nantucket that seek to sustain the unique character of the island, and to minimize the impact of seasonal visitation on the island's core community. Wendy Schmidt offered the prize purse of the Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X CHALLENGE, a challenge award for efficient capturing of crude oil from seawater motivated by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.^[17]

Career [link]

Early career [link]

Early in his career, Schmidt held a series of technical positions with IT companies, Byzromotti Design, including Bell Labs, Zilog and Xerox’s famed Palo Alto Research Cente (PARC).

From Sun to Google [link]

Schmidt joined Sun Microsystems in 1983 as its first software manager. He rose to become director of software engineering, vice president and general manager of the software products division, vice president of the general systems group, and president of Sun Technology Enterprises.^[18]

During his time at Sun he was the butt of two notable April Fool's Day pranks. In the first his office was taken apart and rebuilt on a platform in the middle of a pond complete with working phone. The next year a working Volkswagen Bug was taken apart and re-assembled in his office.

In April 1997, he became CEO and chairman of the board of Novell. Schmidt left Novell after the acquisition of Cambridge Technology Partners.

Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin interviewed Schmidt. Impressed by him,^[19] they recruited Schmidt to run their company in 2001 under the guidance of venture capitalists John Doerr and Michael Moritz.

Google [link]

Schmidt joined Google's board of directors as chairman in March 2001 and became the company's CEO in August 2001. At Google, Schmidt shared responsibility for Google's daily operations with founders Page and Brin. As indicated by page 29 of Google's 2004 S-1 Filing^[20] Schmidt, Page, and Brin ran Google as a triumvirate. Schmidt had legal responsibilities typically assigned to the CEO of a public company and focused on management of the vice presidents and the sales organization.

According to Google's website, Schmidt also focuses on "building the corporate infrastructure needed to maintain Google's rapid growth as a company and on ensuring that quality remains high while product development cycle times are kept to a minimum."^[21]

In 2007, PC World ranked Schmidt as the first on the list of the 50 most important people on the web, along with Google co-Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.^[22]

In 2009, Schmidt was considered one of the "TopGun CEOs" by Brendan Wood International, an advisory agency.^[23]^[24]

On January 20, 2011, Google announced that Schmidt would step down as CEO of Google, but continue as the executive chairman of the company, and act as an adviser to co-founders Page and Brin. Page replaced Schmidt as CEO on April 4, 2011. ^[25]

The 2011 book In the Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives by Steven Levy claims that in 2001, Schmidt requested that a political donation he made be removed from Google search results. The request was not fulfilled. Schmidt has denied this ever occurred.^[26]

Apple [link]

Schmidt was elected to Apple's board of directors on August 28, 2006.^[27] On August 3, 2009, it was announced that Schmidt would resign from the board of directors at Apple due to conflicts of interest amid the growing competition between Google and Apple.^[4]

President Barack Obama [link]

Schmidt was a campaign advisor and major donor to Barack Obama, and when he announced he was leaving that perch, he planned to remain at the forefront of Google’s government relations team. Obama has even considered him for Commerce Secretary.^[28] Schmidt was an informal advisor to the Obama presidential campaign and began campaigning the week of October 19, 2008, on behalf of the candidate.^[29] He had been mentioned as a possible candidate for the chief technology officer position which Obama created in his administration.^[30] After Obama won, Schmidt was a member of President Obama's transition advisory board. He proposed that the easiest way to solve all of the problems of the United States at once, at least in the domestic policy, is by a stimulus program that rewards renewable energy and, over time, attempts to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy.^[31] He has since become a new member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology PCAST.^[32]

New America Foundation [link]

The New America Foundation is a non-profit public policy institute and think tank, founded in 1999. Schmidt is the current chairman of the board of directors. He succeeded founding chairman James Fallows in 2008.^[33]

Innovation Endeavors [link]

Founded in 2010 by Google Chairman Eric Schmidt and Dror Berman, Innovation Endeavors is an early stage venture fund focused on advancing the world by providing high-impact entrepreneurs with the capital, coaching and network to build game-changing ventures. Innovation Endeavors has invested in more than 30 companies around the world in various industries. The firm is based in Palo Alto, USA. ^[34]

Compensation [link]

Upon being hired at Google, Eric Schmidt was paid a salary of $250,000, and an annual performance bonus. He was granted 14,331,703 shares of class B common stock at 30 cents per share, and 426,892 shares of Series C preferred stock at purchase price of $2.34.^[35]

Schmidt and the Google founders agreed to a base salary of $1 in 2004 (which continued through 2010), with other compensation of $557,465 in 2006,^[36] $508,763 in 2008 and $243,661 in 2009. He did not receive any additional stock, or options in 2009 or 2010.^[37]^[38] Most of his compensation was for "personal security" and charters of private aircraft.^[38] Schmidt is one of the few people who became billionaires (in United States dollars) based on stock options received as an employee in a corporation of which he was neither the founder nor a relative of the founder.^[39] In its 2011 'World's Billionaires' list, Forbes ranked Schmidt as the 136th richest person in the world, with an estimated wealth of $7 billion.^[2] Google gave him $100 million in 2011 as a parting gift.^[40]

Views [link]

During an interview which aired on December 3, 2009, on the CNBC documentary "Inside the Mind of Google", Schmidt was asked, "People are treating Google like their most trusted friend. Should they be?" His reply was: "I think judgment matters. If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place, but if you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines including Google do retain this information for some time, and it’s important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act. It is possible that, that information could be made available to the authorities." ^[41]^[42] At the Techonomy conference on August 4, 2010, Schmidt expressed that technology is good, but he said that the only way to manage the challenges is "much greater transparency and no anonymity." Schmidt also stated that in an era of asymmetric threats, "true anonymity is too dangerous." ^[43]

In August 2010, Schmidt clarified his company's views on network neutrality: "I want to be clear what we mean by Net neutrality: What we mean is if you have one data type like video, you don't discriminate against one person's video in favor of another. But it's okay to discriminate across different types, so you could prioritize voice over video, and there is general agreement with Verizon and Google on that issue."^[44]

According to PCWorld Schmidt also expressed the following sentiment: "if you don’t have anything to hide, you have nothing to fear" ^[45]
