Matthew John "Matt" Labash is an American journalist and feature writer currently a senior writer at The Weekly Standard, where his articles frequently appear.Labash has written some in-depth coverage pieces exposing such well-known individuals as presidential candidate Al Gore, who was the Vice President of the United States at the time of the article. The reporter wrote a colorful, personal detailed story about the residences that Gore owned as a landlord in Tennessee. The article covered in-depth anecdotes and perspectives of some of the tenants who complained of inadequate repair and deteriorating conditions of the homes they were renting from Gore In another piece, Labash uncovered a sweetheart loan that George Stephanopoulos obtained."Matt Labash of The Weekly Standard is consistently one of the best magazine writers in the country," David Brooks, editorial columnist for The New York Times wrote in his December 25, 2007 column. Brooks named Labash as one of the winners of the "Sidney Awards" — the columnist's annual naming of the articles he considers the best of the year. The writer's profile of Roger Stone played to Labash's strong points, Brooks wrote, because "amoral blackguards bring out his best".However, in an interview with Journalismjobs.com in May 2003 Matt Labash admits that it pays to be un-objective. He was responding to the question, "Why have conservative media outlets like The Weekly Standard and Fox News Channel become more popular in the past few years?"Labash replied, "Because they feed the rage. We bring the pain to the liberal media. I say that mockingly, but it's true somewhat. We come with a strong point of view and people like point of view journalism. While all these hand-wringing Freedom Forum types talk about objectivity, the conservative media likes to rap the liberal media on the knuckles for not being objective. We've created this cottage industry in which it pays to be un-objective. It pays to be subjective as much as possible. It's a great way to have your cake and eat it too. Criticize other people for not being objective. Be as subjective as you want. It's a great little racket. I'm glad we found it actually."In 2010, a collection of Labash essays from the Standard, Fly Fishing with Darth Vader: and Other Adventures with Evangelical Wrestlers, Political Hitmen, and Jewish Cowboys, was published by Simon and Schuster. The articles ranged from profiles of politicians, ranging from then-Vice Pres. Richard B. Cheney to former Ohio Rep. James Traficant, and American cities such as Detroit, Michigan and New Orleans, Louisiana, to personal opinion-related pieces on such issues as US-Canada relations, physical education, and Facebook.
