About

The Editors

Senior Editor “AP” has been blogging for Hot Air since its inception in April 2006. He is cited in Mary Mapes’s book as one of the right-wing bloggers whose “wild and hateful claims” helped destroy CBS’s story about the Bush National Guard memos, which pleases him to no end.

Senior Editor Ed Morrissey joined Hot Air in February 2008 after writing at Captain’s Quarters since 2003. He also hosts a weekly radio show on Minnesota’s AM 1280 The Patriot every Saturday afternoon. He can be reached at ed@hotair.com

Associate Editor Tina Korbe joined HotAir in May 2011. Previously, she was an investigative journalist for the conservative Heritage Foundation where she worked on dozens of stories including Wisconsin’s public employee unions and the Obama administration’s moratorium on off-shore oil drilling.

History

Hot Air was launched on April 24, 2006, with Michelle Malkin as founder/CEO. Since then, the site has become one of the largest right-of-center blogs on the Internet. Here’s the very first post that appeared at Hot Air–posted at 4:15am after bleary-eyed preparations and an intense team effort to launch the site. Here were Michelle’s reflections on the site’s six-month anniversary.

In 2010, HotAir was acquired and became part of the Townhall/HotAir network alongside Townhall.com and Townhall Magazine in a network of conservative websites with over four million monthly readers.

Technical credit goes to King of Fools and Mark Jaquith who keep the site running smoothly.
