After those prestigious positions, the American political pundit found herself consulting for various organizations, organizations like 'Human Rights First' and the National Council for Research on Women. Following that, she found herself, in 2015, authoring her first book, The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech. In the novel, Powers asked, "Whatever happened to free speech in America?" She criticized the Left's for what she perceives to be a gross focus on conformity and a long, sustained, and illiberal attack on free speech.
She writes columns for the Daily Beast and USA Today on such varied topics as faith, human rights, and politics. She also served as a political analyst for Fox News and worked on shoes like the Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News Sunday and the O'Reilly Factor. After a decade of working as a Fox News contributor, she moved to CNN as a political analyst. Her first appearance was on "Anderson Cooper 360". It's important to understand that her move to CNN happened along with a trend. During her move, CNN made a special effort to step up its recruitment of Fox employees. Furthermore, her departure came a few weeks after Fox News CEO and founder Roger Ailes were forced to resign due to accusations of sexual harassment.
Kirsten Powers, as a political pundit and analyst, has strong beliefs on specific issues. It is here you can see the influence of her religious beliefs. For instance, she supported Obama's health care reforms, immigration reforms, gun control, and equal rights for the gay community, all of these things for the sake of equality and fairness. On the other hand, she opposes the amendment on flag burning, the death penalty, the Fairness Doctrine, and the Iraq War. She, similarly, is against abortions done electively during late-term.
However, it's essential to lay bare the development of her opinions. Over time, she began to view Obama's health care policies with scepticism. Her words: "A lot of people who have been screwed over by the law and are left without insurance or with costly insurance". She also voiced support for a Ron Fournier piece in the National Journal critical of Obamacare.
Kirsten Powers was also actively involved in the 'Vote No on 3' campaign that led to the ballot initiative, put forward by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, to oust primary party members.
Her social profiles are highly active. She tends to post about her everyday-life news and interests, her views on new and hot topics and her two dogs, Ellie and Bill. It's become something of a regular event for her to photograph her dogs in funny poses. Judging by her active career and young, highly productive age, Kirsten Powers is a hard-to-find professional who still has a lot to offer in her respective field. As far as can be told, she indeed won't be retiring soon.
