Media Appearances
Naturally telegenic and possessed of a quick wit to debate the topics of the day, Martin Eisenstadt is frequently called on to take the “responsible right” position in public affairs debates - especially those pertaining to the upcoming Presidential election as well as to world affairs. During this election season, he has been an especially articulate advocate first for candidate Rudy Giuliani, upon whose campaign he served as an unofficial advisor, and most recently for the general election campaign of Sen. John McCain for whom he is an advisor and liaison to the Jewish community.
To pundit or not to pundit? That’s the question. At the risk of sacrificing his academic reputation, Mr. Eisenstadt decided years ago that it is better to speak out on topics of national and public affairs than to hide behind the Ivory Curtain of academia. “A public uninformed is a public uninspired.”
An award-winning analyst, Mr. Eisenstadt frequently discusses current affairs on television, appearing on such U.S. programs as ABC’s World News, Crossfire, CBS Reports, NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Nightline and The Today Show. He has appeared on leading television networks around the globe, including the BBC, Al-Jazeera, and the Israeli Broadcasting Authority and has lectured in twenty countries.
