Kilkenny is a social critic and blogger for The Nation. Kilkenny covers "budget wars, activism, uprising, dissent and general rabble-rousing".[1] Kilkenny is best known for her contributions to political and humor websites like the Huffington Post, Talking Points Memo, 23/6, the Beast, Counterpunch.org, the Nation, and Alternet.org.[2] Her work has been also featured on W. Kamau Bell's blog.[3] Since 2018, Kilkenny hosts the podcast Light Treason News [4] BackgroundKilkenny grew up in Naperville, Illinois. She attended Illinois State University, graduating in 2005 with a major in English.[5] Kilkenny moved to New York City, where she met her ex-husband Jamie Kilstein at a chain bookstore where the two were employed.[5] She currently resides in Brooklyn.[6] Kilkenny is an outspoken atheist and activist.[7] She is a vegan.[9] Kilkenny said her political awakening was sparked by reading works by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky.[10] She also credits Democracy Now's Amy Goodman as an inspiration to more political thought.[10] Works and careerKilkenny was described in 2012 as a "fast-rising radio and print reporter-columnist."[8] Her journalist career has come about entirely on the Internet.[9] The Daily Kos called her "among the handful of youngish political journalists to have gained a solid readership by the direct and unorthodox means of the blogosphere."[9] She is co-writing a non-fiction political book with her husband Jamie Kilstein, which Kilstein says will cover trans* issues, Palestine, factory farming, and feminism.[9] Kilkenny has appeared as a guest and as an expert on television shows including Countdown with Keith Olbermann,[10] Melissa Harris-Perry,[11] The Majority Report,[12] WMNF 88.5 FM,[13] Democracy Now,[14][15] Abby Martin{{cn|date=December 2018}} and other shows to discuss labor issues, LGBT issues, Occupy Wall Street and activism. An outspoken critic of establishment media, Kilkenny has been quoted as having a pessimistic view of her own chosen profession. "The news exists to turn a profit," she told Barrett Brown for the Daily Kos in 2008.[9] Kilkenny began her career writing political rants for blogs, but did not start getting paid until her work took more of an investigative turn.[16] Citizen RadioKilkenny started Citizen Radio in 2008. The podcast grew from a once-weekly program to popular show now released every weekday in 2008.[17] Before that, Kilkenny co-hosted a podcast Drunken Politics, which was associated with Breakthru Radio.[17] Kilkenny says the show's format, which mixes equal parts news stories and dark humor, is partially a coping mechanism. "People cope with difficult news in their own ways, and our way is through humor, namely so our audience doesn’t start offing themselves, one-by-one," she said in an interview with In These Times.[18] Occupy Wall StreetKilkenny was one of a small group of journalists that started reporting on Occupy Wall Street during its first days, filing a report from Zuccotti Park on September 17, 2011.[19] In May 2011, months before the Occupy movement began, Kilkenny expressed her admiration for the union protesters who occupied the Wisconsin State Capitol building.[18] "That’s the only type of protest that matters anymore: occupy and refuse to leave. It scares the hell out of the politicians and the media loves the drama, so they’re more likely to cover it," she said.[18] Though her initial coverage described a scene with lukewarm reception, Kilkenny continued to report on the occupation of Zuccotti Park, while chiding larger organizations like The New York Times for "abysmal coverage."[20] In her response, Kilkenny points out glaring omissions from the NYT's first coverage of Occupy, which failed to mention NYPD's documented macing of protestors.[20] "For every batshit-crazy quote Bellafante presents, I can match it with a calm, articulate response from another attendee. I guarantee that," Kilkenny wrote. Kilkenny estimates she spent "more than a hundred hours wandering through the encampment and interviewing dozens of protesters at great length."[5] Throughout the fall and winter of 2011, Kilkenny continued to cover developments in the Occupy movement, including actions in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Los Angeles, Boston, and New York City.[21][22][23] Kilkenny was one of two journalists featured on a panel about the "state of Occupy" in February 2012.[24] Kilkenny received positive feedback both from mainstream news sources, and from hordes of Twitter followers during the "occupation" for up-to-the-minute news from the park. According to some sources, Kilkenny received hundreds of followers a week throughout the physical occupation of Zuccotti Park.[5] One of her articles from her time covering the movement, "Youth Surviving Subprime" was featured in The Nation's book Meltdown: How Greed and Corruption Shattered Our Financial System and How We Can Recover.[5] CriticismG. Gordon Liddy replied to a tweet by Kilkenny, telling Kilkenny that her writing made him want to vomit.[25] Kilkenny said the tweet was unprovoked and came from out of the blue.[18]Matthew Vadum, author of Subversion Inc, said Kilkenny and her ex-husband Kilstein misrepresented an opinion piece Vadum wrote for American Thinker, accusing her of a "knee-jerk" reaction.[26]Personal lifeKilkenny married comedian and radio host Jamie Kilstein (now divorced) on June 7, 2010. The couple each tattooed a symbol on their left ring fingers. Kilkenny's finger features a monkey, while Kilstein's finger has a penguin.[27] The actual tattooing process was considered the couple's wedding ceremony.[27] Kilkenny has often said she admires the work of fellow left-wing writers Glenn Greenwald, Digby, Matt Taibbi, John Cole, and Atrios.[18] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thenation.com/authors/allison-kilkenny|title=Allison Kilkenny|publisher=The Nation|accessdate=2013-01-11}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/allison-kilkenny |title=Allison Kilkenny |publisher=The Huffington Post |accessdate=2013-01-11}} 3. ^{{cite web |last=Bell |first=W.
