Walter Lippman (1889-1974) was an American journalist, writer and political commentator. In 1913, he became one of the founding editors of The New Republic magazine and was an advocate of American democracy until World War II when he started to believe otherwise. He is often considered to be the moral and intellectual antithesis of Noam Chomsky, believing that the population is a huge beast that has to controlled by a dominant class of intellectuals. In addition to writing for newspapers, Lippmann also wrote several books and was the first to popularize the phrase 'cold war' in his book of the same name which was published in 1947.
