Life

He first came to public attention in 2003 when he helped to expose gun control critic John Lott for defending himself in online forums using an assumed identity. [2] [3] Soon afterwards, Sanchez was hired as an assistant editor at Reason magazine, where he is now a contributing editor.

Sanchez was raised in Norwood in Bergen County, New Jersey, where he attended public school. [4] [5]

Sanchez has a weblog on his personal website. He has also blogged for Reason and The Economist . In the winter of 2005–06, Andrew Sullivan asked Sanchez and Ross Douthat to guest blog on his widely read weblog, The Daily Dish . Sanchez's work has been cited in blogs such as The Volokh Conspiracy , Marginal Revolution, and Instapundit . In a 2010 blog post he adapted the philosophical term epistemic closure to describe the effect that the rise of conservative media has had on right-of-center political discourse in the United States. [6] His analysis sparked a spirited debate among conservative pundits that was eventually covered by The New York Times . [7]

Sanchez is a graduate of New York University, where he studied philosophy and political science.
