Talk:Ernie Anastos

Neutrality
I've tagged this article as NPOV because it reads like a fan site or PR profile. If someone could rewrite to make it more neutral, that would be wonderful. Thanks! 74.73.86.222 03:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio
I had to revert this article to January 2006 because subsequent edits appear to be based on Anastos's biography on the Fox New York web site: . Unless anyone has any evidence the copyvio was in the other direction (which seems unlikely given its tenor) please to not reincorporate this text. Cmprince 02:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Chicken
As far as I can tell the objection to including this is that it's unserious or somehow not becoming of an encyclopedia, not that it isn't notable. When someone makes a mistake or gaffe that gets a lot of attention, that's an important aspect of their career that would be included in a full treatment of the subject (e.g., Janet Jackson). News outlets have reported on this, the station management has responded to it, Anastos will apologize for it--it's not "trivial."72.95.240.157 (talk) 01:51, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I also have the feeling "keep fucking that chicken" is going to become a much more common phrase, and we should know who to thank for introducing us to such a colourful expression.Ninahexan (talk) 08:04, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way guys, trading off reverts to avoid 3RR is not really in the spirit of the rule. I'm the ip above if it's not obvious.Prezbo (talk) 00:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Should the article state what he said? WP improver (talk) 04:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If it becomes a notable meme or something of that nature happens, then yes. Otherwise I don't see the need.
 * Also, if it is going to say it - Anastos says he misspoke and I believe him but what could he possibly have meant to say? Has this been elaborated on anywhere? 99.185.123.140 (talk) 05:05, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * He probably meant to say "plucking." The article said this a little while ago, with citations, but it was removed because this is all trivia of no encyclopedic merit.Prezbo (talk) 06:12, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * He was making a reference to an old chicken commerical, hence the reference to "It takes a tendor man to make a forcaste", etc. That was from the commercial. The "Keep fucking that chicken" is a continuation of the chicken discussion. --66.60.137.134 (talk) 00:21, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

No matter what everyone thinks they heard or didn't hear, please read WP:V; Wikipedia is built upon reliable sources. If there are a few dozen journalists who heard "fucking", that's worth including. However, discussing it here is not terribly relevant, Wikipedia isn't a forum. tedder (talk) 00:38, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * So then it stays, and gets a redirection. Anything else is vandalism.LostMK (talk) 06:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

It's obvious what he says. Even his co-anchor heard it that way. Look at her face on the Youtube video. I live hundreds of miles from New York and it's the only thing I've ever heard about him. It made him very notable outside New York, at least for a time. As well, no one has mentioned his earlier "dot cock" blooper, another classic. Spoonkymonkey (talk) 12:19, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that's true, I live outside of America, and I've heard of this. It is definitely notable; I actually came onto Wikipedia to find out the other side of the story (what he meant to say), I never questioned that it was a story!--203.45.146.36 (talk) 08:59, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Wondered why this wasn't here, it got quite a bit of press a few years back. To cover WP:V and WP:RS, here's ABC News. New York Times claims he said "Plucking", but covers the story nonetheless.LM2000 (talk) 03:01, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
