Biography
Peter J. Dominick (born October 31, 1975) is an American political comedian and talk radio personality.
Dominick is routinely open about his political and philosophical views on the program Stand Up! With Pete Dominick, freely admitting that he brings personal bias to the show, and a strong opinion on certain issues (e.g., gay marriage). During his CNN broadcasts in particular, he routinely has left-leaning bias, but his SiriusXM show Stand Up! With Pete Dominick usually consists of an open debate.
He describes himself as an agnostic atheist whenever relevant subjects arise, a view point he described arriving at “around 1996 or 1997,” leaving behind the Catholic beliefs he had grown up with. More recently, Dominick has stated that while he doesn’t necessarily believe in a God, he has a strong spiritual side and believes in the interconnectedness of life. He practices transcendental meditation.
He can also be heard admitting regularly to being fallible—that he can be wrong and has been wrong—and encouraging listeners to challenge him “through conversation on important issues.” He can also be heard telling his listening audience on practically every episode to “think for yourself,” to “check your sources,” and to “always question what you hear” and so forth, a message he typically closes every episode with.
He consistently tries to avoid political labels, insisting that callers speak to the issues without pigeon-holing themselves with labels that do not contribute anything meaningful other than partisan divisions.
