Carl Cameron Career
He began his media career in 1985 at radio stations WFEA and WZID in Manchester, New Hampshire, first as a salesman at WFEA and then as a weatherman at WZID after the weatherman became ill one day. Later, he worked as the political director for WMUR-TV, Manchester’s ABC station. Cameron was hired by Fox News in 1995 and covered the 1996 presidential election. In 1996, he became Fox News’ first full-time Capitol Hill Correspondent and has since covered every presidential race; Shepard Smith called him “Campaign Carl,” and he is frequently introduced on-air with that moniker.
Cameron was named Fox News’ first Chief Political Correspondent after the 2000 elections, and its first Chief White House Correspondent following the 2004 elections. Cameron returned to his role as Chief Political Correspondent in June 2006 to cover the 2006 midterm elections and prepare for the presidential race in 2008. George W. Bush’s drunk driving arrest in 1976 is one of the stories he has broken.
Cameron announced his departure from Fox News on August 22, 2017. With Joe Romm, the progressive news aggregator’s Editor-in-Chief, Laura Dawn, Sunny Hundal, Helen Stickler, his wife Moira Hopkins, and others, he created FrontPage Live in June 2019. Cameron is the Chief Political Correspondent at CNN. Cameron was voted a top reporter by the state Associated Press Broadcasters Association multiple times as a radio reporter in New Hampshire, and he was hailed as “clever” and “brash” by both The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Washington Post.
In 2004, Cameron published a fake news report on the Fox News website, claiming that Senator John Kerry had termed himself a “metrosexual” and President George W. Bush a “cowboy.” Later, Fox News spokesperson Paul Schur claimed the piece was meant to be an internal joke and not for publishing, and the network apologized. Cameron was chastised.
“[P]layers on both sides of the aisle trust ‘Campaign Carl,’ and know that his reporting is second to none,” according to Washingtonian Magazine, which named Cameron one of the best 50 journalists in the nation’s capital in June 2009. According to a 2012 feature in The New York Times, Cameron is a hardworking journalist who is often referred to as “a member of the home team” at Republican campaign events but is hailed as convivial and unbiased in his reporting by reporters from competing networks. “It’s wonderful to see that there are other people in TV who didn’t get there for their looks,” NBC News’s Chuck Todd, an avowed lover of Cameron, joked, “it’s nice to see that there are other guys in TV who didn’t get there for their looks.”
