You may strongly disagree with Melanie Morgan and find her commentary offensive, but please do NOT put the "Pauline Friedman" version back online. It was a vandal's spoof. Morgan has made a third urgent request to restore the correct version, which I have just done. I am not certain what the legal consequences could be if she really gets mad, but I am pretty sure it would be quite messy. -- Tangerine5000 16:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Here is what she said on Friday 12/22:
“ | To Whom It May Concern,
This is the third time I have addressed this problem with Wikipedia, and for the life of me I cannot understand why it keeps popping up on your website. I am Melanie Morgan of KSFO in San Francisco, and vandals have repeatedly changed my profile to clearly portray false information. Wikipedia has corrected it twice, and it has happened AGAIN. ONE MORE TIME: Melanie R. Morgan is my correct name. I am not Pauline Friedman, nor was I born in Beverly Hills. I was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1956, not 1948. I have previously worked as a reporter, not an anchor for KGO-TV. My resume also includes several stints as a foreign correspondant for ABC Radio and Television, covering the bombing of the Marine Compound in Beirut in 1983, the live coverage of the return of American hostages from a hijacked airliner to Germany, and the uprising in Tianamen Square in China, as well as the earthquake that devastated Mexico City in 1988. I have won many awards for my 30 year career, including (most recently) the Associated Press Mark Twain award for special live programming from Iraq last year.(Voices of Soldiers, Truth Tour) I have never called for the assassination of presumptive House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. I have never called for the assassination of anyone-- period. I was referring to a 'political bulls-eye' on Nancy Pelosi, after her inflammatory comments regarding the President of the United States, and ugly political discourse about Republicans in general. This is in reference to a book I am planning to co-author to expose Ms. Pelosi's extremely liberal, anti-American comments and the agenda she has set for the new Congress. These repeated efforts to smear me on Wikipedia are disgusting, and demeans your credibility as a source of unbiased information. Please correct (again) immediately. Melanie Morgan, KSFO Radio, San Francisco |

On numerous times, including at least twice on FOX News Channel she has unabashedly called for Terrorist acts against Americans, and in particular, Code Pink and other liberal groups.
I think it would be appropriate to add the fact that she has done so to her page here.
Are the FOX News Channel videos of her and recordings of her own radio broadcasts (of her inciting Terrorism against Americans) good enough to fit the sourcing requirements here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.41.19.246 ( talk • contribs)
Probably should change 'support US armed forces' to 'US armed intervention in the (war on terror)' --- Crissa —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.238.36 ( talk) 10:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
I've read other bios of Ms. Morgan, why is there no mention of her battle with a gambling addiction that nearly ended her career, and irresponsible behavior of taking her infant son to all-night card games, or the fact that her boss at KSFO was her husband? I also didn't see anything about a reason why she left KSFO (they didn't renew her contract). The article seems to be really struggling to put a major positive spin on someone with the scruples of... well, shall we say "a much lesser person" by "lying through omission." I would almost suspect that Ms. Morgan wrote this herself. Ragreen ( talk) 20:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
This article talks about the movie made about her! She does not hide from the fact that she is a re-covering gambler.... Liberals like you all want to tear any conservative apart on all of their faults.. but somehow overlook or "forget" your own liberal leaders/personalities faults! Grow up! —Preceding

What it really doesn't talk about is that fact that she has no conservative credentials of any kind. She was literally bounced on Harry Truman's knee as a child and had a lifelong affiliation with Liberals and Democrats. Then ALL OF A SUDDEN she has a miraculous conversion when a job opens up for a conservative talk show host IN HER HUSBANDS RADIO STATION. It don't work that way. 97.96.4.75 ( talk) 19:09, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
What happened to the bit about her saying "We have a bullseye painted on (Nancy Pelosi's) forehead? I know that was in here at some point. SirChuckB ( talk) 11:30, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) I didn't say it was a game. I meant that everytime something like this comes up, it turns into a "source not reliable, how about this?" type of deal where everyone argues. The Pelosi comments certainly were controversal and led to a lot of calls for her termination, it was also used to depict the double standard commentators are held up to. You say "I don't know what exactly an adequate reliable source would be, but it would have to be something more than a blog which is admittedly partisan." But then you remove material from the NYT and other known journals. I ask again, what do you consider a reliable source? SirChuckB ( talk) 03:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Stage three in the BRD process: discussion. Basically, I don't think this article is neutral. The reason for that is the use of the word controversy, which on Wikipedia is prima facie evidence of POV-pushing regardless of veracity or verifiability. Especially when it's in a section of its own. Sceptre ( talk) 21:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Is Melanie Morgan still involved in Move American Forward? I noticed that her name and bio has been deleted under the "About MAF" section on the website www.moveamericaforward.org. Dale720240 ( talk) 02:15, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
This article does not list the Melanie's correct birthday. THe entire article is a mes and should be reewritten and should include those things called facts. After all isn't this supposed to be an encyclopedia that is accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.107.124 ( talk) 02:25, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
If we are going to mention dollar amounts, we should get that from a reputable source. Can personal websites be used as sources on Wikipedia? Doesn't seem like they would be. Just in the news today. The charity in question is being sued by the state of California for funneling donations to Republicans and skimming off the top of donations. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/california-lawsuit-military-charity-donated-to-politicians/ar-AAENP0p?ocid=spartandhp 2601:244:8301:98C5:60E8:FB09:81EE:8A0B ( talk) 12:29, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
