Why does the article completely omit all of the controversy surrounding her departure? People are still mad about it. An article was published just today defending Matt Lauer against those who say he had a part in firing her.

Good Morning, Good Morning
Joel McHale's started somewhat of a grassroots ridicule for her redundant use of "good morning." Shouldn't this be mentioned?
75.74.26.181 06:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC) bellerophon124
I completely agree. Many people know her only as the "good morning, good morning" woman from Joel McHale's show "The Soup" on E!

Radar Magazine
I remember that "poll". Radar was a magazine with no reputation which quickly folded. The comment quoted was unsourced by Radar, and given that Ann C. has been news anchor and co-presenter of the highest rated live show on TV for ten years is not exactly authoritative.
Is a silly, anonymous and biased comment permitted on Wikipedia just because a bad magazine published it?
Answer to the above comment: I'd say that yes, since other people have lobbed the same criticism at her Wuapinmon 21:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Palm Beach Post's Kevin Thompson, amongst others, has criticized Curry's poor interviewing skills. She often adopts a combative tone with interviewees that she obviously dislikes. She frequently fumbles for words. Some have speculated that she wasn't even a candidate to replace Katie Couric in 2006. Ann Curry's poor interview skills critiqued
- Palm Beach Post?? Radar Magazine?? Hardly notable sources. I removed the nasty, POV, weasel wordy "criticism" section in its entirety. Gsd2000 01:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC
Your tone strikes me as belonging to a bitter fan of Ms. Curry. She has received criticism, and "notable" sources is POV too. I move to mention the criticism on the main page to maintain neutral POV.
Also, the media are the last to criticize one of their own.

shot comment
Was Ms. Curry shot in the ear? It doesn't make sense to say that she is deaf in five ears. 76.169.12.80 05:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- It was just vandalism. Katr67 21:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Haircut
Add the part where on the "Today Show" she had her haircut. Truth be told, nowadays she has her hair way too short. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.6.2 (talk • contribs)
Trivia Section
The bit saying, "Curry has been sued by several of her neighbors due to complaints about excessive noise, dust, early morning start times, illegal weekend work and concerns about safety during renovation of her Manhattan brownstone." has a footnote link that goes nowhere. Did somebody just make this up? Nope it wasn't made up. There's a link to a story in the NY Post where it was first reported on March 26, 2007 link is here http://www.nypost.com/seven/03262007/gossip/pagesix/join_the_crowd_pagesix_.htm
Missing Footnotes
As I was browsing this page, all of the citations are blank links and lead nowhere. If you are the author of the individual section, please put footnotes referencing the source of the information. Otherwise, we need to clean up any contentious statements. DanielD1980 02:08, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- It just needed {{reflist}} to make the refs show up. If there are more statements needing refs, either add {{refimprove}} to the refs section or {{fact}} tag individual sentences. Katr67 03:47, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Good morning (repeated)
I admit. I like that "Good morning" clip from one episode of the Today Show. But I don't think it needs to be mentioned in this article, or, at the very least, have its own section. THE evil fluffyface 21:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Siblings
I know that Ms. Curry has both brothers and sisters. Does anybody know how many of each she has?--BigMac1212 (talk) 05:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
NBC Nightly News substitution
I deleted the words "weekend editions," because she chiefly subs for Brian on weekdays.Kuahmel (talk) 23:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Please replace her picture in this article
She looks so haggard in that picture. She has many public photos online (where she appears radiant), so I guess we won't have a hard time replacing it. MarkMadrona2011 (talk) 07:01, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
Agreed. I was just about to complain. I don't have access to edit photos though because of past vandalism and stuff, even thogh they still let me edit here even after over 40 blatant attempts at destroying articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.104.188.76 (talk) 02:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
- it doesn't work that way in wikipedia. We can't just grab a copyrighted image. See Wikipedia:Image use policy. --rogerd (talk) 03:25, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
This talk page is a good illustration of how Wikipedia is not the Encyclopedia Brittanica
Readers, these are your editors. Five years ago the discussion revolved around some dumb parody a now-forgotten comedian did of this major American journalist and commentator. Soon came criticism of her hairstyle. The article is no deeper. Profhum (talk) 22:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
MILF?
Is AskMen's "Hottest MILF Newscaster" really worth including as an "award" in this section? Is it appropriate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.130.203 (talk) 04:42, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Ann wi;\ll be missed
I thought Ann CUrry did a wonderful job on the Today Show and the one day I missed you got the ax - I am so sorry! Please pop up somewhere cuz your reporting is right on. Take care!
A true fan! Sherry — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.211.129.100 (talk) 01:01, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Journalist or Propagandist
I question the use of the term "journalist" to describe Ann Curry. Consider this example of her "journalism": http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/44483606#44483606 Ahmadinejad never has a better press agent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.15.103 (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Problem with hyperlink on link attached to "Robert Barnett", it appears to be a hack ... could someone have a look and fix ?

Is Ann Curry married to the Brian Ross who is a reporter/anchor with ABC News???
The bio states that Ann Curry is married to a "Brian Ross" but it is not linked to anything and it does not state that it is the Brian Ross of ABC News. Is is the same guy, or is she just married to some guy who also happens to be named "Brian Ross". If somebody knows, can they put it in? If he is not THE Brian Ross, I think in parentheses after his name it should state, "not Brian Ross of ABC News"). Thanks in advance to anybody who knows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
- It's not the same Brian Ross, but I would argue the opposite. It should be noted if it is the same one (and linked to his WP page) but not because her husband happens to have the same name as another prominent TV journalist. JTRH (talk) 10:22, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
No mention of firing/controversy?
Why does the article completely omit all of the controversy surrounding her departure? People are still mad about it. An article was published just today defending Matt Lauer against those who say he had a part in firing her. Even if it is all hearsay, it should be mentioned that there is in fact controversy and that many viewers were angered by her departure and believed it was dirty office politics that got her out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.83.129.3 (talk) 04:14, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
