In 1986, The Wall Street Journal called him "perhaps the most powerful journalist in America".[3][4] He won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 1977.
In later years, he criticized Republican politicians like Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Donald Trump. He did not support Trump's campaign for president, so he became an independent in 2016. He then voted for Joe Biden in 2020.[5][6]
