Reply #2: If his poilitical affiliation is important to the point you're making

then list it, otherwise don't. If you are just identifying him, stick with radio host, or more descriptively, radio talk show host.

I'm not familiar with Human Events, but unless it is the type of journal where noted scholars post their scholarly research, then it's not an academic journal. That doesn't necessarily mean it's an unreliabel source. Are you trying to cite a fact from it, or an opinion? If you say something like "An article in HE made the argument that...," then citing it is fine. If you are citing proof to uphold an argument, and want to use HE in your footnotes, then it would matter whether it was an academically accepted journal. Then you'd do better citing the author, like say "Dr. Franken, noted expert on the subject, said in HE that..."

Don't complain about professors requiring high quality. We need more, not less, of that. Better education means fewer Republicans.
