Angelo Carusone is Chairman and President of Media Matters -- a nonprofit organization and the United States' premier media watchdog.

Carusone is a recognized authority on right-wing extremism and frequently provides expert opinion about extremism, online toxicity, and the underlying structures fueling their rise. He has also become a go-to resource for journalists writing about fake news and the ways technology platforms are addressing the issue.
