the Trials & Tribulations section is way too long[edit]
Bowden has been one of the best American journalists over the past 30 years, and his contribution has been massive. It doesn't seem appropriate to me for nearly a third of the article about him to be a rehashing of the grievances raised by the blogger at Trials & Tribulations, with 3 separate links to the blog posts. Sure, it's worth mentioning, but a line or two would do it. Poynter has an even-handed look at the dispute, and it's obvious that Bowden's failings were relatively minor: http://www.poynter.org/2012/vanity-fair-corrects-bowden-story-about-stephanie-lazarus-case/188704/
Yeah, it's incredibly one-sided and cites only the blog itself as a source. No third-party commentary whatsoever, which calls into question just how much weight it should be given. It is clearly non-neutral to me. 100.40.28.53 (talk) 06:19, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it looks like it's been pared back, but now that it has been, it's even more transparently obvious that it's only source is an interested party. I would hope somebody would incorporate some of the Poynter material for balance.Theonemacduff (talk) 18:30, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
