How Can NBC News Portray Itself as Unbiased When Keith Olbermann Appears Next to Purportedly Neutral NBC Journalists?
Keith Olbermann has made his political views, and his hatred of Bush, very evident night after night after night. Olbermann has the right to his opinions, but then Olbermann appears on election nights with other NBC journalists who purport to be politically neutral. This combination of opinion and news has done a great deal to damage the once impressive reputation of NBC News. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.144.160 (talk) 01:09, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
The simple fact is that NBC News has an obvious liberal bias. It don't take a genius to figure that one out.PokeHomsar (talk) 03:10, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Access Hollywood?
I don't think that Access Hollywood is a series produced by NBC News. Sure, it is produced by NBC, but the series is not labeled as produced by NBC News. This should be removed from the article immediately. --Jonyyeh 20:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
political ideology
Why isn't there a section devoted to the political leanings / biasis of NBC news, if any exist? Gregasaurous (talk) 18:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

History section
This section seems to omit some important information - such as the milestone dates when NBC Nightly News expanded from 15 min. to 30 min. format and went to color from b&w. Also, it doesn't go back any farther than 1956, omitting the pre-Huntley/Brinkley era, eg. John Cameron Swayze (1949-1956) and the early pioneering TV-radio NBC News simulcasts by Lowell Thomas beginning on February 21, 1940 (as recounted in Thomas' book, So Long Until Tomorrow, pp. 17-19).
Unless there's a particular reason why the article doesn't delve into these aspects, I'm going to expand the History section along these lines. JGHowes talk - 23:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
I say go ahead and add all the information you know! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewgu111 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Font
Does anyone know what the font on the current logo of NBC News is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.67.173.240 (talk) 22:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Current and Past Anchors... section
On the NBC News page under the section "Current and Past Anchors..." the link for Peter Alexander incorrectly leads to European singer/actor Peter Alexander. Hopefully, someone will be interested correcting this inaccuracy. There doesn't appear to be an article for the anchor Peter Alexander to redirect the link.

Frank Blair
The link to Frank Blair is to the Civil War figure. Even links to "Frank Blair (journalist)" are to the Civil War Blair. Jerry (talk) 13:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Severe problems
This article makes some serious claims with almost no sourcing. The current article is a terrible mess of original research, full of weasel and peacock words, and currently fails our requirements that statements be neutrally presented and reliably sourced. Whilst many of the points raised are factually sound (gas tank incident, for instance), we need to either source the claims made or remove them entirely. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 04:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Controversies and Criticisms?
This network has been around for a long time. Why is it there are no controversies listed for it? Why does the FOX News Channel article have such, but this article does not. Not even a mention of its liberal bias? That's being extremely liberally biased right there.PokeHomsar (talk) 03:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Has NBC News Transformed into the Pro-Obama News?
As the long presidential campaign proceeded into 2008, NBC News gradually lost any hint of political neutrality and transformed itself into almost an arm of the Obama campaign.
Long lists
The list of current and former contributors is excessively long and ugly. We should either columnize it or split it into a "List of" daughter article. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Bureaus
In Denver KUSA-TV is there bureau & assignment desk but KDEN-TV serves as the satellite up-link center for NBC NEWS. What should be put down for Denver???
