Talk:Erin Burnett

On Burnett's CNN debut

I think it is likely that there may be some lasting flap from this, but can we give it a couple of days to develop? Mangoe (talk) 20:34, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Her unqualified comments ("Nobody really knows what it is about") on OCW should be included.--84.152.60.57 (talk) 12:28, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Controversial comments

Clearly Forbes is not a tabloid, Same with the Balt Sun. What they said should be public and let the public decide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.66.214 (talk) 21:33, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

No one said Forbes was a tabloid. Your cherry-picking of sources to add content that says "Writers in Forbes, the Guardian, and The Baltimore Sun variously described her coverage as "smug," "vapid," and "stomach churningly awful." is indeed tabloidy and unencyclopedic; and strikes me as an attempt to merely attack the subject of the article instead of presenting encyclopedic facts and content.

Bloggers and columnists say lots of things we don't add to our articles - we don't add worthless attack comments without a decent reason, and from my investigation of your desired addition I didn't see one - I suggest you present something for inclusion that says what your are desirous of without the name calling and demeaning portrayal of the living subject of this article.

Please look at the history.

1) I was not the person who put this up so someone (else) thought it should be there.

2) Just a few days ago this was taken down by Kathrine Bernard (who said she added things)>>Ohnoitsjamie (talk (actually, you mostly deleted things) (undo)

3) Ohnoitsjamie put it backsaying )>>Ohnoitsjamie (talk | contribs)‎ (15,437 bytes) (actually, you mostly deleted things) (undo)

4) Kathrine Bernard took it down again.

5) Ohnoitsjamie put it back up

4) Dreadstar took it down saying >>Dreadstar (talk | contribs)‎ (13,942 bytes) (→Controversial comments: needs better sources and more accurate content

6) I put it back(thinking we had another KB)- I said there were ref...

7) Dread took it down-- and only then it became tabloid. -Dreadstar (talk | contribs)‎ (13,475 bytes) (→Controversial comments: rem tabloidy material) (undo)

7) I put it back( again thinking we had another KB)saying forbes is not a tabloid

Last (and my opinion) is in her coverage Ms Burnett of that event, she seemed to go way way out of her way to show only the ignorant protesters. If she presented a biased story,as many seem to think, why whitewash it? Let the public make there own opinion. CNN did not respond to nothing: CNN issued a statement in response to the blowback, saying "We support Erin and the OutFront team and we respect that there will be a range of opinions on any given story."[ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.66.214 (talk) 22:07, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

What if we added something like: Several media sources have disputed Ms Burnett's report as being biased

Would that make everyone happy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.66.214 (talk) 22:28, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

You are invited to make your case for the inclusion/exclusion of this material. Mangoe (talk) 03:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Merge sections?

Does anyone oppose merging the CNBC and Return to CNN sections under a single header...maybe Cable News Career or something like that? Some of the information about her new show is repeated in both sections (stated three times in the article, in fact, if you include the lead). Also, the part about her giving the commencement speech is out of place in that section. Quinn ^{✩ STARRY NIGHT} 18:08, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Big change

I am about to make a large edit to this article, but since some content has been in dispute, and it has appeared on the BLPN board recently, I am putting it here first for a while. See: User:Quinn1/sandbox/Erin Burnett. I suggest this change in content for everything below the Early years sub-section. (Most of it is just moved around...I did not really add or remove any info.) Anyone cool/not cool with this? Quinn ^{✩ STARRY NIGHT} 18:47, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

I went ahead and made the change so as not to effect any positive edits that might have occurred in the meantime. Quinn ^{✩ STARRY NIGHT} 19:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

With all due respect, I cannot help but suggest that one's skills as an editor/contributor would be improved were one to study the difference between "affect" and "effect". Meant in good faith. Unimaginative Username (talk) 09:03, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
