Andrew Stiles
Senior Writer, Washington Free Beacon | Charlotte, North Carolina
About
Andrew Stiles is a senior writer at the Washington Free Beacon, covering politics, media, and culture with a satirical edge that's hard to miss. His writing doesn't play it safe. Readers keep coming back because the commentary is sharp, the targets are real, and Stiles doesn't soften things to make anyone comfortable.
He came up through serious newsrooms. Before landing at the Free Beacon as a writer, he served as the outlet's digital managing editor, shaping how the publication ran its online operation and editorial voice. His earlier work took him to National Review as a political reporter, to Dow Jones as a news editor, and before that an internship at The Hill. That's a lot of ground to cover, and it shows in the work.
Known for taking on stories other writers leave alone, Stiles has built a following that's genuinely engaged. With approximately 15,800 followers on X, formerly Twitter, his posts move. Political observers share them, argue with them, screenshot them. That kind of traction doesn't come from playing it straight down the middle.
The Stiles Section, his Substack newsletter, gives him room to write outside the daily grind of the news cycle. It's where the commentary gets longer and the analysis gets room to breathe. If you want to understand where he's coming from on a given story, that's the place to start. With the Washington Free Beacon work running alongside it, Stiles keeps a consistent presence across both outlets without one drowning out the other.
