Talk:Laura Flanders

Starting article
I like the information in the article, but it would be good to have more biographical information about her and her work. I'll have to do some research. I'd like to see more about her education, early experiences in broadcast, etc., but it's a good start. Calicocat 06:03, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

American? Well
She's a citizen i'm sure, but she was born in England and has a light accent. On her show she said she came to the states for college at age 19 and never left. One would think THAT would be a relevent peice of info, but it's missing here. Hey I just got an idea, why not contact her show and have her or one of her producers fill-in the blanks?


 * Interesting that somebody has already raised this question. Laura Flanders's grandfather, father, sister, and uncles were educated at Oxford, so I was rather expecting to find that she was as well, only to be informed that she is not even British. (Not, of course, that one has to be British to go to Oxford). Where in the United States did she receive her higher education, and is there any explanation about why she went to America and why she stayed there? (Does she, for example, have an American partner or other family, or was she offered a job in America straight from university? It is rare, though not unheard of, for British people to go abroad for undergraduate study.)--Oxonian2006 21:01, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe she just likes Americans (different than approving of our governments). A lot of Americans seem to like her too given that the show has a faithful following.

No ideological association?
As is common on Wikipedia articles, a leftist/"liberal" author/journalist/TV personality such a Laura Flanders is not identified as such, whereas conservatives or classical liberals/right-wingers are always labelled in such a way. The intention of this pattern of behaviour is clear: to mislead the uninitiated reader.Bobinisrael (talk) 21:15, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

GMA appearance
It's from 1993, and seems to be the only one added. Shouldn't more recent national news appearances be added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:70E4:4300:E584:3D9E:6E95:6C5 (talk) 02:59, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Merge of GRITtv into Laura Flanders
Confused about this choice, where the reasoning posed was that when GRITtv is discussed, so is Laura Flanders. That doesn't seem to be a policy when it comes to news and interview shows - for example Melissa_Harris-Perry and Melissa_Harris-Perry_(TV_series), Democracy_Now! and Amy_Goodman, Bill_O%27Reilly_(political_commentator) and The_O%27Reilly_Factor. --Cdemere (talk) 15:38, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
