Newsbusters is a credible source?[edit]

Wow. --84.153.127.176 (talk) 17:51, 4 April 2010 (UTC) Both of the sources for the Judd Gregg disparagement are conservative news sources as is Judd Gregg-shouldn't that be acknowledged in the body of the article? Seems an odd twist to put in an article about a news anchor without some context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.30.210.132 (talk) 21:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Newbusters isn't the source. The source is the embedded video found at that cite (I couldn't find it at MSNBC for ... some reason).Ikeinthemed (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Newsbusters shows a clip. The meaning of the clip -- your interpretation of it -- is unsourced. We could write an article several thousand pages long if we simply took anything she said on the air and pontificated on it. That is not what Wikipeidia does. We report what reliable sources say, not what you or any other individual editor thinks. In the alternate case, where Newsbusters makes the claim about the meaning, we have the question of weight. One blog's comments on their interpretation of something is not worthy of inclusion. If we included every topic covered by any blog out there, this article would, again, be thousands of pages long. The articles on Obama, sugar, climate change, etc. would be hundreds of thousands of pages long. - SummerPhD (talk) 19:27, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You should read up on how to source as well including what's a reliable source (I know there's a lot in Wikipedia to learn). See WP:RS. Mattnad (talk)

is this page even worth having?[edit]

The page has improved but I do have to ask about having facebook and twitter links. These types of links open up the doorway for a number of other types of links that are usually frowned upon in wikipedia articles. If you want to know if she's on facebook you can do a search for her. If you want to know if she's on twitter, the same goes.

If you want to know things about her, Contessa_Brewer would seem suitable.Woods01 (talk) 04:37, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits[edit]

I've removed several lines of content added as "criticism" that do not meet Wikipedia's high quality sourcing requirements for WP:BLPs. The removed content also contained original research and synthesis, as well as information not contained in the cited sources. Xenophrenic (talk) 20:00, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

This page has significant issues with tone that border on making this an attack piece. The career section is a list of corrections rather than a list of significant events. I should make it clear that I am not a fan of Ms Brewer's politics; regardless of my opinion the way this article is formatted is inappropriate for a BLP. If the corrections are to be kept, they should be placed in their own section. The career section should be a neutral accounting of notable accomplishments. 76.111.244.85 (talk) 12:28, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the sourcing is decent, even though it does seem like once she left Reno it was one gaffe after another. I think these controversies are notable and come with the territory in her former role at MSNBC, herself a non-neutral anchor/commentator (a role typically adopted by their anchors) taking conservatives to task, which bolstered her profile with some, and earned enmity from others...
