The whole argument between Attkisson and the network was on the alleged bias of CBS and their lack of investigative reporting. How could anyone not think it is irrelevant to ignore that the head (David Rhodes) of the news network that Attkisson is alleging bias at is a brother to President Obama's deputy NSA (Ben Rhodes)? Especially since Ben Rhodes has bragged how he influenced the press in creating an echo chamber on the Iran Deal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreap3421 ( talk • contribs) 07:17, 3 July 2020 (UTC) Dreap3421 ( talk) 19:24, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
Conspiracy theory? Saying that David Rhodes, the head of CBS News at the time, is a brother of Ben Rhodes (Obama's deputy National Security Advisor) is a "conspiracy theory?" The article states numerous times that she is alleging bias on the part of CBS News. Regardless if it is true or not, it is relevant that the head of the news organization she is alleging is showing bias towards President Obama is the brother of a top Obama advisor. Seeing some of your past "edits," I am not even going to go any further with you: I'll bring it to another opinion. Dreap3421 ( talk) 01:28, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
I guess we need to try and settle this. Currently, we say:
The source is [1]. The thing is, Snopes did not find that Attkinson mischaracterised his statements, but did find that she overstated the significance of them. I've been over the Snopes article, and can't find any point where Snopes states that his statements were mischaracterised. Specifically, Snopes founds two claims made by Attkisson to be false:
In both cases, Snopes found that Attkisson had overstated the significance of Zimmerman's clams, but not that she mischaracterised what Zimmerman had said. Ultimately, Snopes stated:
This has become a point of contention by those supporting Attkinson, who have argued that we are misrepresenting Snopes. I'm proposing that we make a minor change to the wording to read:
That way we retain the fact that her report was misleading but are fully in keeping with the Snopes findings and the rest of our paragraph. - Bilby ( talk) 01:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
I recently removed an unverified date of birth, and swapped birthplace for one supported by several references that state Sarasota, Florida. However I now see there was a previous discussion of alleged errors in place and date of birth initiated by an IP address claiming to be Sharyl Attkisson. Many sources state Attkisson is a Sarasota "native" [1] [2] [3] [4] while some explicitly state born in Sarasota. [5] [6] [7] A directory of questionable reliability for a BLP ( Marquis Who's Who) gives a birthplace of St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as names of parents, spouse, and daughter. [8] A full date of birth is listed at her Library of Congress authority file (based on a "CIP data sheet"), as well as a 2003 version of her CBS News biography (subsequent versions of her official biography apparently omitted place and date of birth). She was also previously known as Sharyl Thompson. [3] [9] [10] I haven't yet found sources where the subject has clearly self-published or Tweeted DOB or POB, which could be used per WP:BLPSELFPUB. I guess the salient question is: which birth elements should we use, and how best to address the discrepancies? --Animalparty! ( talk) 01:27, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
