Early career
Bill Scher was one of the first liberal political bloggers, founding LiberalOasis.com in 2002. LiberalOasis was the first blog to conduct a formal interview with a presidential candidate. In 2004, he became a regular commentator for Air America Radio's "The Majority Report" hosted by Sam Seder and Janeane Garofalo. In 2006, he contributed a chapter to the book "Proud To Be Liberal" and published his own book "Wait! Don't Move To Canada!: A Stay-and-Fight Strategy to Win Back America" (Rodale, 2006). He later became an editor and writer for the Campaign for America's Future website OurFuture.org.
Political Positions
Bill Scher has been known to take positions that are controversial within liberal circles. In 2012, he published a New York Times oped titled "How Liberals Win" which argued that liberals should treat "corporate power as a force to bargain with, not an enemy to vanquish." After the Edward Snowden leaks, he defended the record of the National Security Agency from the liberal perspective in essays for The Week and POLITICO Magazine. He defended his position in an appearance on MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" and later in a debate with Snowden's attorney Ben Wizner on MSNBC's "Up with Steve Kornacki." He wrote articles critical of Bernie Sanders throughout the 2016 presidential primaries.
