The Wall Street Journal
October 2014
I am indeed reluctant to say that Henninger's beginnings are obscured by a black shroud of mystery, but I will assert the scarcity within what has become of his biographies. Even Wikipedia, the most renowned keeper of secrets, has but a few malnourished lines concerning Henninger's background. It is known that he was born in Cleveland, Ohio and attended the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and succeeded academically. Since his graduation, Henninger has become the Deputy Editorial Page Director of the Wall Street Journal and has contributed greatly to Fox News. He is responsible for a column called "Wonder Land" and often reports on many political topics in his articles.
When it comes to specialization, Henninger embodies a professional journalist. Despite the fact his arguments consist mainly of mudslinging, he conducts rather convincing points and develops the column appropriately. Henninger is recognized by a wide spectrum of media, ranging from the Wall Street Journal to Fox News. Over the course of October 2014, he addressed large political topics concerning the American well-being and standard of living. Daniel Henninger makes note of the Ferguson-Missouri case, Obama's actions, recent economic depressions, and democratic party.
Henninger, from what I understand, is straddling the line between center right and radical right and with ample amounts of support to back this claim. Of the 4 articles I have seen, Henninger accuses Obama as lacking the professionalism of a true president and failing to address certain economic deficits. Sure, democrats too can turn a critical eye towards Obama, but Henninger's orientation becomes obvious with the hostility he directs towards the entire party. One of his most recent articles titled "It's not a Videogame" points a humiliating finger at the democratic party and characterizes them as disloyal, irresponsible, and unwilling to uphold national security.Daniel Henninger, in the eyes of most radical republicans, is a valuable asset to the political party. However, as I see it, his association with Fox News really takes away from his credibility and reputation. Fox News is media that boasts of its unbias ("Fair and Balanced") but is quite notorious for its abuse of certain perspectives in contrast with others. For example, the station skewed the positive and negative coverage of the presidential candidates during the 2012 election. Henninger's association with this press plays into his reliability as an author. It may be possible to see skewed opinions and filtered ideologies as even he is recognized by Fox. For this reason, Henninger may be depicted as one of the less reputable in our list of pundits.
