Removing bogus Trump TV report
The entire report is totally unverifiable. The relationship between Trump and corporate media interests are clear to anyone with even a minor knowledge of the idiocy surrounding it. Will we start recording Tabloid news next? 96.83.146.222 (talk) 17:08, 10 December 2017 (UTC) rmv Trump newsline as non-notable. I am sure he pass motion and pass gas as well. Is that notable?
 * Verifiable or not, I am sure there are many things Trump would do, but is any of it notable? Like I said when I first reverted the edit, I am sure Trump also pass gas, like any other person would, but is that notable? Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 19:42, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Against removing

 * This generates a global buzz over the weekend while the world tries to understand a strange foreign policy after the "recognition". The story (behind paywall now) provided useful hard data on estimated viewing time and, more importantly, the selection of the channels. It's clearly attributed as a report from the noted New York Times, so it's a relevant collection of points of view. If that's not possible, we'll never have any social sciences.
 * For me, there is a kind of a censorship movement that i help to counter by at least saving this here. Cheers. Wakari07 (talk) 16:29, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * If one were to sit down and count the number of sock-puppet accounts on attack pages like Trump's businesses you'd be there for an eternity. Who censors who here? 96.83.146.222 (talk) 00:10, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to interpret this ip's reaction, but it sounds in favour of removing. "Don't do anything because you're powerless anyway." I think I heard it before. It's remarkably close to the "pass gass" argument that we had to endure. Wakari07 (talk) 15:06, 13


 * Another gauge is the level of bias shown by the relevance-questioning tags (on the surrounding "hamlet" and "Egyptology" blurbs) standing undisputed.
 * The simple existence of this page shows the naked butthurt of the opposing viewpoint. Wakari07 (talk) 15:47, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
