Reverted Controversy Section[edit]

Just came here to add the details reverted in revision 919300755. This does not appear to be WP:OR: while I did not listen to the audio files I read the transcript of the interview and the host ends with the following remark: "We feel we must note that Congressman Banks did not accurately describe The New York Times reporting about Congressman Schiff and the whistleblower's complaint. The Times quoted a spokesman for Congressman Schiff who said Schiff never saw any part of the complaint or knew precisely what the whistleblower would deliver." The reverted content seems accurate. Did the reverter consult any of the citations? Cl.taurus (talk) 22:06, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are referring to my reversion of an edit by IP 32.214.158.236 who added a section "Lying to the press", right? Are you saying that there is a reliable source saying that Mr Banks lied, and a reliable source that there's a controversy about it? (In fact you'd need multiple reliable sources if WP:BLPPUBLIC applies.) Yes, I consulted the cite of the Times, though I did not listen to the audio, and do not see the transcript.

Jim Banks[edit]

Was surprised to see the blatant editorializing in the article regarding the political career of the Congressman. Certainly this isn't considered acceptable within Wikipedia or am I wrong.

Update:

Looks like someone got a few of them. Of course there are more. Check under Tenure. Thank you.
