This wiki is highly biased against Laura Loomer. Most of the entire page is filled with opinions, not facts. First and foremost she is a freelance journalist which is not mentioned at all in the wiki. Also the comments describing her as far-right, anti-Muslim, white nationalist, conspiracy theorist are all opinions held almost exclusively by left leaning individuals and media outlets. My suggestion would be as follows:

Change this: Laura Elizabeth Loomer (born May 21, 1993)[1] is an American far-right[a] and anti-Muslim[b] conservative political activist, white nationalist,[c] conspiracy theorist[d] and internet personality.[2][3] She was the Republican nominee to represent Florida's 21st congressional district in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections, losing to Democrat Lois Frankel.[4][5] She also ran in the Republican primary for Florida's 11th congressional district in 2022, narrowly losing to incumbent Daniel Webster.[6]

To this: Laura Elizabeth Loomer (born May 21, 1993)[1] is an American independent journalist and conservative political activist. She is well known for her public challenges to liberals and Democrats at public functions on issues important to the people with conservative views and supporters of Republicans. As a result of her activities, liberals and Democrats describe her as an internet personality that caters to the far-right[a] as well as describing her as an anti-Muslim[b] activist, white nationalist,[c] and conspiracy theorist[d]. She was the Republican nominee to represent Florida's 21st congressional district in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections, losing to Democrat Lois Frankel.[4][5] She also ran in the Republican primary for Florida's 11th congressional district in 2022, narrowly losing to incumbent Daniel Webster.

 * That doesn’t really align with the sources in footnotes a b and c, many of which are neither liberal nor specific Democrat outlets – Fox News and The Washington Times being probably the most prominent contradictions to such an assertion. I don’t think Associated Press, CBS News, or The Times of Israel fit, either, but maybe another editor will see it differently. In other words, your change would imply an assessment that Fox News is liberal, which undermines credibility of the encyclopedia. To overcome this problem, you would have to eliminate the unfit sources mentioned, which amounts to WP:OR cherry picking, at best. I would therefore reject the request. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:11, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I would disagree in that she calls herself an independent journalist and she spends her days covering political topics. The problem with your assertion is that none of the major networks (left or right) like nor want independent journalists.  So the frequently label them as anything but journalists as if they have a lock on the "true journalists" market.  At the very least "independent journalist" could be replaced with political commentator as she also runs a Rumble channel.  Also so as to correct the discrepancy, one could change, "As a result of her activities, liberals and Democrats describe her as an internet personality..." to "Main stream media outlets describe her as an internet personality..."  Covers both political sides, removing the conflict, but is far more accurate. Twiswall (talk) 15:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Your claim that the major networks ... frequently label them as anything but journalists is contradicted by the major networks labeling independent journalists as independent journalists. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

WaPo profile
Interesting long profile of Loomer in Washtington Post last week. Reporter hung out and followed Loomer around for quite a while. This should be useful for the wikipedia page.

Apropos of previous discussion, article says only that Loomer "characterizes herself" as a journalist. -- M.boli (talk) 16:00, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Loomer isn't a white nationalist.
she isn't a white nationalist. This is incorrect information. Loomer is Jewish. Why is this tag on her profile? 2600:6C67:6E7F:D314:5146:43E5:5A16:691C (talk) 03:07, 28 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Because of multiple reliable sources describing her as such. CNC (talk) 12:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
