Ira Madison III (born 1986) is a writer at MTV News and formerly a writer for Vulture, and BuzzFeed.[1] He has also written for Variety [2] and GQ Magazine [3]. In 2017, CNN anchor Jake Tapper called Madison lacking in humanity[4] for criticizing Attorney General of the United States Jeff Sessions' bringing his Asian granddaughter to his confirmation hearing to distract against allegations that Sessions has been racially biased against African-Americans.[5] Nylon named Madison to its 2016 list of the "The 25 Best Things We Read Online In 2016," calling his essay on Donald Trump's political rise "a fascinating look at the culturally sanctioned making of a monster."[6] [7]
Madison also co-hosted a podcast at MTV News with Doreen St. Félix in 2016 called "Speed Dial with Ira and Doreen," that focused on music, pop culture, and race.[8] Madison was also named "most reliably hilarious and incisive cultural critics writing now" by Nylon in 2016, noting his now-concluded column "Delete Your Account" a "must-read." [9] Madison attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts for a Masters Degree in Dramatic Writing. Madison lives in Los Angeles, California.
