Hood’s analysis attracts state, national attention

posted on

The failure of Congress’ deficit-reduction supercommittee led the N.C. News Network  to seek expert commentary from John Locke Foundation President John Hood. A Winston-Salem Journal letter writer cited Hood while excoriating “starry-eyed liberals.” Hood’s contributions this week to National Review Online’s primary blog, “The Corner,” included observations about an economics lesson for the Occupy movement and the latest developments in Iran. Jim Geraghty’s daily NRO “Morning Jolt” newsletter cited Hood’s entry on Iran. (In the Corner, John Hood says we’re watching an extremely quiet war against Iran play out before our eyes.) N.C. Senate Republicans promoted Hood’s columns this week on firing bad public school teachers, Gov. Beverly Perdue’s bad week, and a basic freedom more important than free speech. LiveLeak.com featured a CarolinaJournal.tv video clip of Hood dissecting the Occupy movement.
