Dominic Patten
From Presidential politics, celebrity culture & Hollywood, microeconomics, rock'n'roll, the NoBrow tabloid obsessions of modern America & a touch of everything else in-between, journalist & broadcaster Dominic Patten almost never doesn't have a TKO opinion on something. On camera at E! Network, in print at the New York Times & on radio at NPR, Patten has a spoonful of contrarian sugar to help the medicine go down.
