Life and career
Continetti was born in Alexandria, Virginia. He is the son of Cathy (née Finn) and Joseph F. Continetti. Continetti graduated from Columbia University in 2003. While in college he wrote for the Columbia Spectator and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute's magazine, CAMPUS. In summer 2002 he did a Collegiate Network internship at the National Review, where he worked as a research assistant for Rich Lowry. He joined The Weekly Standard as an editorial assistant, and later became associate editor.
His articles and reviews have also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Financial Times. He has also been an on-camera contributor to Bloggingheads.tv. He has criticized Glenn Beck as "nonsense." He has argued the American media turned on Sarah Palin during the 2008 campaign because they had blind allegiance to Barack Obama. He has criticized American academia as uniformly left wing.
Continetti lives in Arlington, Virginia. He is married to Anne Elizabeth Kristol, the daughter of neo-conservative writer William Kristol. Continetti converted to Judaism in 2011.
In March, 2015, Continetti penned a column that was highly critical of the fictitious character, Mr. Spock, from the Star Trek television and movie series, as a response to President Barack Obama's kind words for the character of the late actor Leonard Nimoy.
