Human Events
Human Events is an American conservative magazine, which states it holds high "the Reaganesque principles of free enterprise, limited government and, above all, a staunch, unwavering defense of American freedom". Its style, for over 60 years, has often been confrontational: "savor that rare moment in journalism when the thick fog of liberal bias is blown away to reveal... THE NAKED, BEDROCK TRUTH!"[1]
Owned by Eagle Publishing, the editor is Jed Babbin. About 30 conservatives believe that Tom Phillips, a Republican activist who acquired Human Events in the 1990s, is allowing the publication to drift to the left, and want Babbin fired.[2] Others, however, find the publication's authors to be well on the right; there were over 200 contributors in the last quarter of 2009.
Those calling for Babbin's firing were not generally major figures in American conservatism.
