Frontpage.com

Nice job cleaning up things up guys. Thanks. I do think it comes of as kind of silly though, for this article, and the one about Joe Carr, for the first refernence to be to Frontpage. Regardless of whether or not you think it is a reliable source, at least 50% of the people who might find themselves wanting to look up an entry about these people think Frontpage is a bunch of bull. Some people would say David Horowitz has basically tried to declare war on academic freedom, with his book about the "most dangerous professors in America". Maybe you believe that stuff, but his brand of politics is extremely hostile - it's the kind of stuff that could lead to people's careers being put in jeapardy - and now, more than ever, the mere sight or mention of his website and magazine is enough to get many academic's (especially in the US) emotions riled up. I strongly suggest we not use Frontpage magazine as a primary source - especially not the very first source in the article.TroiS6 04:29, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also not keen on relying exclusively on Frontpagemag, although we don't rely on it exclusively here because other sources agree with it, but you elsewhere argue that sources like Frontpagemag and Counterpunch are acceptable. SlimVirgin (talk) 04:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
