Biography
Hyman is a 1981 graduate of the United States Naval Academy and was a captain in the United States Navy Reserve. He currently resides in Annapolis, Maryland.
The Point
Beginning in 2001, he created conservative one-minute editorial segments called, The Point that were broadcast on many of the group's 62 stations, during local news programs. Sinclair Broadcast Group's own description of the program was as follows:
The Point is a one-minute daily commentary that is intended to stimulate public discourse. The Point encourages viewer feedback, and every Saturday we air select viewer comments, both positive and negative. In an age of homogenized, bland, politically correct news, we are proud to deliver news and commentary that stimulates critical thinking and encourages viewers to get involved.
The program became known for its controversial political commentary.
On November 2, 2006, after more than five years and 2,000 daily commentaries, Hyman announced that he planned to drop his daily commentary at the end of the month, citing a desire to spend more time with his four children. The final The Point commentary aired on November 30.
Controversies
He used the phrase "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" to describe the French in one of his editorials.
In late 2004, he fired Jon Leiberman, Sinclair's Washington bureau chief and reporter, following the latter's public criticism of Sinclair's announced plan to air the controversial anti-Kerry film Stolen Honor as a news program in prime time on all of its stations.
After The Point
Hyman continues to offer his conservative opinions in print and online for American Spectator magazine. Hyman's editorials returned to select Sinclair-owned stations in a dozen TV markets under the title Behind the Headlines with Mark Hyman in December 2010.
