I was surprised to see this in Forbes but the author says "I write from the left on politics and policy." and "I am a Senior Political Contributor at Forbes and the official 'token lefty,' as the title of the page suggests. However, writing from the 'left of center' should not be confused with writing for the left as I often annoy progressives just as much as I upset conservative thinkers."
I applaud Forbes for having opposing viewpoints and also applaud the author for defending himself vigorously in the comment section from the more conservative readers. A good time was had by all as far as I can tell.
This isn't completely true. Rick Ungar is an actual published writer with a nontrivial history (most of it outside of politics--he was head of Marvel Productions for a while). He appears on Fox News--such as that is--programs as the token liberal.
