Talk:Robert Peston

Political Stance and bias
Comment should be made on this revolting character's unabashed woke and anti-Brexit views, and how it shape and colour his reporting.

Delivery
Shouldn't there be some reference to this man's appalling delivery? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.130.20.130 (talk) 03:44, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Only if it's been said by someone in a verifiable, reliable source, and you can reference it specifically. Opinions are not appropriate for WP articles. 86.132.143.167 (talk) 23:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

This is often subject of ridicule on Radio 4 Shows such as "The News Quiz" and "The Now Show". 129.31.68.113 (talk) 21:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Some of us find his delivery idiosyncratic and entertaining - and have the decency to sign our posts, rather than hiding behind anonymity to make personal attacks! Sasha (talk) 11:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Blog
Shouldn't there be some reference to this man's appalling blog? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.108.160.130 (talk) 15:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Today's blog is "Peston; Catastrophic failure". Spot on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.1.219 (talk) 08:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Peston "chills out"? Are you serious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.134.76.34 (talk) 11:30, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

The above comments are uncircumstantiated and need elaboration. There are two areas of contention, material quality and blog administration, and two discussion headings are therefore being added to allow a more NPOV discussion of each. Rahere - but not the user so named who posted for a short while and disappeared, hogging the name unused. hios post8ings have also been migrated. Sic jacet gloria mundi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.65.194.210 (talk) 08:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Personal Life
Why was the information about him being the son of a Labour peer removed? Surely it is somewhat relevant? Not only that, but it was replaced with a rediculous comment about him "chilling out". I propose the original Personal Life information be restored.

And... whoever deleted this conversation page as being "a troll", please don't do it again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.108.160.130 (talk) 15:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

As the son of a life peer, he can be styled as 'The Honourable...'. So c'mon guys n gals, it's The Honourable Robert Peston, lol. Rich @ Leeds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.146.33 (talk) 08:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest?
I think someone should keep an eye on this article, considering that it seems like Robert Peston (User:RobertPeston) has been editing his page himself (without adding references), which may possibly cause a conflict of interest. --TubularWorld (talk) 18:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've now removed the COI notice because Peston's contributions have been largely minor, uncontroversial and verifiable, and he hasn't edited for months.--94.197.145.118 (talk) 13:26, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Possible Serious Fraud Office probe
There is a section entitled Possible Serious Fraud Office probe. What actually happened? Nunquam Dormio (talk) 17:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Career / "While no impropriety on the part of Peston was implied..."
There's a paragraph that begins "While no impropriety on the part of Peston was implied..." under Peston's career. If there's no impropriety, why include it? If there is an impropriety, it would be relevant only if substantiated. Rob Burbidge (talk) 21:22, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Removal of prank information
Peston mentioned an inaccuracy on BBC Radio 4 this morning. See User talk:86.25.245.254. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:38, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

That change has been made but it's good to have the source (I also heard the programme in question, hence my visit here today Gavinayling (talk) 13:36, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
