Controversy paragraph

Please discuss the wording of the last paragraph of the controversy section here to make it NPOV. Currently it reads as follows.

The fine was of exceptionally dubious merit, as there was no overt obscenity during the segment and Segal had acted in good faith believing the callers to be 18. It is believed that there may have been political strings pulled by the administrators of the school in order to preserve the school’s public image. This was especially important so as to conceal the truth, as several independent investigators have largely corroborated the caller’s claims of sexual debauchery on school grounds.[5]

The above paragraph is not sited at all regarding how widely believed it is that political strings may have been pulled. --DBishop¹⁹⁸⁴ 18:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This paragraph is completely opinion and offers no reference for any of its assertions. 68.49.28.218 02:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it has no source and seems to just be POV. The only thing that is close to verifiable is the "good faith" line, as the transcript of the call quotes them as identifying themselves as 18. I think the other legal term applicable is "mistake of fact" but in all it seems pointless. Legitimus 19:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, I posted a note to the contributor's talk page, we'll see if s/he responds. --DBishop¹⁹⁸⁴ 14:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems this paragraph as sprung up on Elliot in the Morning as well, I've removed it and noted that it was being discussed here. --DBishop¹⁹⁸⁴ 15:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
