spiked is thrilled to announce that Batya Ungar-Sargon is joining our growing roster of columnists.
Batya is the the author of two outstanding books, Bad News, on the wokeification of the media, and Second Class, on the betrayal of the American worker.
She’s also been published in just about every major US outlet you can think of – from the New York Times to the Washington Post to Newsweek, where she edits the opinion section.
Her insights on America’s class divide, and how it drives and shapes the culture war, are second to none. The first of Batya’s fortnightly columns, on why America has no truck with the woke anti-Zionism of the ‘Squad’, is a must-read.
As we approach a critical juncture in US politics, we could think of no better addition to the spiked stable. Welcome, Batya!
