"Trash" POV

"The show has gained a "trash" reputation [...]" according to whom? And besides, the violent video games where you have to kill cops are trash. 2004-12-29T22:45Z July 8, 2005 17:18 (UTC)

Criticism

Moving this here for discussion:

On occasion, an interview between Donny Deutsch and guests may become subject to controversy. One instance of such a controversy is showcased within a discussion with editor John Davidson and Columbine victim Brooks Brown. Both Davidson and Brown claim they were lied to about the show's focus, and Brown claims that his (and his parents) statements were edited to fit the show's anti-video game bias. Davidson ended up walking off the set. One of the videogames they discussed was Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Bernard Goldberg claims that this also happened with him on the show. His interview was aired on July 20, 2005 and he claims that the debate with him was stacked against him and was edited to make him look vociferous and out-of-control. On an appearance on the Rush Limbaugh radio show shortly afterwards, Mr. Goldberg attacked the Deutsch show's techniques while failing to admit his own role in the incident. For instance, when asked why he lashed out at celebrities in his latest book for merely stating their opinions on political matters during interviews, Mr. Goldberg simply stated, "Because you people just don't shut up!" without any further intellectual depth to the observation. Whether such incidents are genuinely controversial or merely demonstrate the lack of depth within the discussion on the Donnie Deutsch show tends to be overshadowed in this era of partisan political attacks from both the conservatives and the liberals of America.

This is pretty slanted, and I can't find a published source besides a blog. Jokestress 01:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, the nerve of a guy who's released books The 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America in which he takes potshots-no sort of useful criticism at all-complaining about people being rude. Talk about crocodile tears. -Wikitoddia 02:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I propose rewriting Criticism to clearly encapsulate core disputes, with attribution, but without defamatory content. At some point, Wikipedia policy will have to accept blog entries for their gist, if not their absolute accountability. The Violence in Video Games controversy shows up as the 4th item in a google search for CNBC big idea: http://www.google.com/search?q=cnbc+big+idea . Proposed rewrite:

==Criticism==

Several interviews between Donny Deutsch and guests have become subjects of controversy.

• Video game publication editor John Davison and Columbine victim Brooks Brown claim they were misled about the focus of the show (filmed June 28, 2005), and that their comments were edited to suit the show's (undisclosed) anti-videogame bias.

• Bernard Goldberg claims that for his interview, aired on July 20, 2005, the debate was stacked against him and was edited to make him look vociferous and out-of-control.
