:After about a year of work, a consensus has been reached on the mention of Lori Klausutis in this article. The consensus text is as follows:
Consensus text
- On July 20, 2001, one of Scarborough's aides died after hitting her head on a desk when she fainted while alone in Scarborough's Fort Walton Beach, Florida, office.[1] According to Scarborough, soon after her death allegations "spread all over the Internet" that he had been involved,[2] although there was no evidence of foul play. In 2003, he joked about the incident with Don Imus on Imus' radio program[3] and, in 2004, it was the subject of a public spat between Scarborough and filmmaker Michael Moore.[4]

- ^ Lisa Osburn, "Scarborough ready to get back home", Pensacola News Journal, September 6, 2001
- ^ James Wolcott, "MSNBC's fox hunt: management and marketing strategies", Vanity Fair 518 (Oct 2003): 140(5)
- ^ Judy Bachrach. "Moore's War", Vanity Fair (March 2005): 240; Scarborough Country, June 14, 2004 [1].
Consensus
- Because of the controversial nature of the subject, please do not substantially modify or remove this section without first discussing the issue on the talk page. If you do, you will almost certainly be reverted.
- Remember to assume good faith. Finally, remember that consensus can change over time, and after a while it may be neccasary to take a straw poll on which version is preferable.

[edit] Why does the section about the death of an aide in Scarborough's office assume details about the incident that are unknowable?
I guess wikipedia wants to be part of the cover-up of a murder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.178.208.147 (talk) 14:43, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- We go by what's verifiable. It's verifiable that the police report found no evidence of foul play. It's also verifiable that the "official story" has been criticized and that the topic has been raised against Scarborough on the Internet, enough for him to comment on it. On this record, we can't assert as fact that she was killed (let alone that Scarborough killed her, as your edit to the article would have it). JamesMLane t c 17:05, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
