Talk:Max du Preez

Platform for libel
Is this supposed to be an objective biography? It looks more like an Italian ghetto on a dirty washing day. There is not a single positive assessment of this man. Even the Martin Flanagan quote is taken out of context. The article is a tragic indictment of what should be balanced journalism. For shame! Rotational (talk) 12:09, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. An entry that lists awards for fearless journalism and points out how the public mobilised in his support is obviously nothing but a platform for attack. 9Nak (talk) 17:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi. I have just read the copy of this discussion that was left at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography.
 * If there is a problem with the article then be bold and fix it. If all the current sources reflect the subject in a negative light then dig out some sources that present him more positively. If there are any controversial statements that are not supported by reliable sources then remove them per the terms of the biographies of living persons policy. Regards.

 * Listen people, just because there may have been a rather negative entry here, this is no reason to White wash this person now in the way done here. --41.151.81.130 (talk) 11:51, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

deception
" During his tenure as editor, the newspaper's offices were bombed and Du Preez received death threats as a result of the paper's opposition to apartheid."

That statement is misleading. --41.150.78.154 (talk) 12:02, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
