Biography

Carl Cameron (born September 22, 1961, as Karl Emil Othmar Lamberg-Karlovsky) is an American journalist and was a reporter for Fox News for two decades. In 2019 he founded the progressive news aggregator, Front Page Live, where he is chief political correspondent.

As a child Cameron spent time in Iran, where his Jewish father C.C. Lamberg-Karlovsky, a distinguished member of the Harvard faculty, worked as an archaeologist. He grew up in New Hampshire and attended Bates College. He began his media career in 1985 at radio stations WFEA and WZID in Manchester, New Hampshire, first being hired as a salesman at WFEA and breaking into broadcasting when the weather man was sick one day. Later he worked as political director for WMUR-TV, the ABC affiliate in Manchester.

In 1995, Fox News hired Cameron, and he covered the 1996 presidential election. He joined Fox News full-time as its first Capitol Hill Correspondent in 1996 and has since covered every presidential election; Shepard Smith dubbed him “Campaign Carl” and he is often introduced on-air by that nickname.

After the 2000 elections, Fox News named Cameron its first Chief Political Correspondent, and after the 2004 elections, he was named its first Chief White House Correspondent. In June 2006, Cameron returned to his job as Chief Political Correspondent to cover the 2006 midterm elections and prepare for the 2008 presidential campaign.

Stories he has broken include George W. Bush’s 1976 drunk driving arrest, as well as Israel’s involvement in wiretapping US officials leading up to 9/11.

On August 22, 2017, Cameron announced his retirement from Fox News. In June 2019, he founded the progressive news aggregator, Front Page Live, together with Joe Romm, its Editor-in-Chief, Laura Dawn, Sunny Hundal, Helen Stickler, his wife Moira Hopkins, and others. Cameron is Chief Political Correspondent.
