About Madeline Peltz
I am a socialist feminist writer, journalist, and critic. I’ve covered virtually every aspect of the right-wing media for nearly a decade, from 4chan to Fox News and beyond, focusing on emerging trends and ascendent personalities. I previously wrote for Media Matters for America before leaving to work on my forthcoming book, PICK ME, slated for publication in fall 2026.
I’ve been quoted as an expert in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, BBC, the Guardian, and more, and my research has been covered widely across the mainstream media. I’ve appeared on Democracy Now, The Young Turks, France TV 5 and featured as a guest on podcasts and radio including The Daily Beast’s The New Abnormal, NPR’s Morning Edition, Citations Needed, NowThis, and others. I’ve also written for MSNBC and Newsweek and been profiled for my work in the Washington Post and Vox.
