Noel Schlitz
Noel Schlitz is the venerable Editor in Chief at Political Colonoscopy — the requisite “old Jewish guy” that every credible news organization needs at the helm.” (His people have been taking on Almighty God for 4000 years. He can handle the wit and wonder that is the modern GOP).
With a career that spans the ideological spectrum—from his time as a Reagan Democrat to a stint as a Clinton-era Republican to his current stance as a rabid centrist—Noel is a man who’s seen it all, been it all, and probably edited it twice.
A political chameleon with a principled core, Noel is on a mission to reimagine what the founders intended for this nation and to apply the hard-earned lessons of 240+ years of American republicanism, now twisted by oligarchic tendencies. In his view, it’s never been more critical that “We the People” resecure our rightful authority over a government that was meant to be of, for, and by us—not the privileged few.
Noel’s editorial approach is rooted in a deep respect for the past, coupled with an unflinching critique of how far we’ve strayed from those original ideals. He’s the guy who’ll quote the Federalist Papers in one breath and dismantle a modern-day political folly in the next, all while ensuring that the voice of the people remains the loudest in the room.
Under his leadership, Political, Colonoscopy doesn’t just analyze the news—it interrogates it, pulling back the layers of rhetoric and spin to reveal the truths that matter. Noel Schlitz is here to remind us that in the battle for the soul of the nation, the pen is still mightier than the sword—especially when it’s wielded by someone who knows the Constitution as well as he knows the back of his hand.“ We can always do better,” he says, with a smirk. “What do you say we give it a shot?”
