Steven Emerson

Steve Emerson is a former freelance journalist turned antiterrorism “expert” who began making a name for himself in the mid-1990s as one of the key promoters of the idea that Islamic terrorists were actively operating on American soil. Although he has been repeatedly criticized for producing faulty analyses and having a distinctly anti-Islamic agenda, Emerson is a frequent guest commentator on FoxNews, MSNBC, and other national news programs, and has often been invited to give testimony to Congress about purported threats from terrorists operating domestically. The American Spectator commented in a profile of Emerson that "Steve Emerson is to the media what Richard Clarke was to the government"[1]
