With WGN America's rebrand to NewsNation as the network? Trying to figure out what to do with pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgcolton (talk • contribs) 19:36, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So it looks like yes, WGN America page did change to NewsNation but the NewsNation page is now NewsNation Prime page. 72.209.29.141 (talk) 00:31, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WGN America → NewsNation
NewsNation (WGN America) → NewsNationPrime
NewsNation → NewsNation (Disambiguation)

Is there enough content on NewsNationPrime to make it its own article? Maybe a "news operation" on the NewsNation page to discuss the news operation? As far as I can tell, other than Banfield (which already has its own article), the other four hours will be pretty similar, like different hours of MSNBC Live. (It's also a good reminder to make an article for Joe Donlon, since if Jeff Gianola is notable enough for an article, so is Donlon.) So merge NewsNation with WGN America. Calwatch (talk) 02:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but not now – Wait until the rebranding on March 1. JE98 (talk) 04:33, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now as too soon until at least the rebranding on March 1. See also WP:NAMECHANGES. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:49, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: No evidence or commentary about WP:PRIMARYTOPIC question, no evidence of WP:COMMONNAME usage. Per WP:DEFUNCTS and WP:COMMONNAME, Wikipedia does not care only about the latest official branding of things. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wait until March 1 at least. In any event, the correct title for WGN America might really be NewsNation (American TV network). It may be coming time to move News Nation—about an Indian cable news network—to a disambiguated title, but I'd want to hear some more feedback on that idea. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:52, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now. It's too soon. Try again in a month or 2. Rreagan007 (talk) 06:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 7 March 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: page moved to NewsNation, in the second case from NewsNation to News Nation (disambiguation) instead of to NewsNation (disambiguation). (closed by non-admin page mover) —Nnadigoodluck███ 08:03, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, this is the only channel blatantly called "NewsNation". The Indian channel is called "News Nation" with a space in the middle, "News Nation Assam" should quite frankly be merged into "News Nation", and "NewsNation with Tamron Hall" has more to its name. There needs to be some organization among the four topics here. JE98 (talk) 16:36, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support the first as per nom, and as per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Meanwhile, the disambiguation page should be moved to News Nation (disambiguation), with NewsNation (disambiguation) redirecting to the former. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:37, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Per IJBall, though I'm somewhat neutral on location of the disambiguation page. BilCat (talk) 18:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Csworldwide1 (talk) 22:34, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@IJBall, BilCat, and Csworldwide1: Thanks for your support, I am cool with "News Nation (disambiguation)" being the name of the new disambiguation page. JE98 (talk) 04:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add slogan since NewsNation has a slogan

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Can someone please add the slogan "Your News. Your Nation.", which is the first slogan when NewsNation was first launched in 2020 and/or "News for all America" as of July 30, 2021. I don't know which slogan they used now but they do have a slogan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.209.29.141 (talk) 16:21, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slogans are no longer used in Template:Infobox television channel, per Template talk:Infobox television channel/Archive 3#I suggest "slogan" or "motto". BilCat (talk) 19:10, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Does this article need to be cleaned up to remove poor sources

User:Materialscientist User:Vjmlhds I think you are the most recent experienced editors to edit here. What do you think? Doug Weller talk 16:52, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources used are OK. They are all by and large legitimate media news sites. Now the News Nation website is used for a lot of things, but considering it is the network itself telling you what is on the network, you can't get any better than straight from the horse's mouth Vjmlhds (talk) 19:00, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. We need secondary independent reliable sources to show the significance of anything for a start. Doug Weller talk 21:39, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ross Coulthart hired

According to Jason Colavito who writes "Meanwhile, the so-called “Schumer amendment” on UFO disclosure seems poised to disappear from the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act because of opposition from key Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Mike Johnson. The sticking point seems to be an overbroad eminent domain provision that would let the government seize any private property they suspect may be from outer space. However, ufologists are flipping their lid over the fizzling UFO disclosure movement, leading British writer Chris Sharp’s pro-UFO Liberation Times to quote one “source” (and since Sharp has only a few, we can guess who it likely is) as threatening that UFO believers will stage an insurrection if lawmakers don’t pass new UFO laws. Australian UFO gadfly Ross Coulthart seconded the motion in a podcast, calling for lawmakers who stand in the way of UFO laws to be dragged through the streets and tarred and feathered. Did I mention he got hired by NewsNation? Yes, NewsNation is where you can threaten violence against government officials and still get hired for new TV projects."

Sorry, no link as it's in his newsletter and I can't find a link to that! Doug Weller talk 16:56, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tucker Carlson and Putin interview

Carlson's sudden interest in interviewing Putin.?? 2601:282:1F22:D76E:F4F3:CE36:D5AB:A40D (talk) 05:10, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In what way does NewsNation lean?

It would be helpful if the article mentioned in which direction NewsNation is biased. That's the first thing I came looking for. --Rob Kam (talk) 12:35, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree, Rob Kam. And I find that the writing is very stilted. Terming MSNBC just plain “liberal” when they have liberal, moderate, and conservative commentators and guests, and treat them all as voices to be listened to politely; and then terming Fox as “conservative-leaning” when the most they have allowed is a token liberal or moderate at a time, very rarely have liberal or moderate guests and, if they do, the guest is treated very nearly as if they are a criminal element.

There are a lot of former Fox people listed as going to NewsNation, so one can make an educated guess—-but isn’t this forum supposed to enable people not to have to guess? 2601:601:8301:6990:0:0:0:109C (talk) 13:48, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Littleton, Cynthia (March 10, 2021). "Nexstar's NewsNation Faces Turmoil, Staff Departures Amid Conservative Bias Concerns". Variety. Retrieved March 16, 2021.

Quote:

Sook told staffers that the goal from the start was to produce a telecast that reflects centrist views. As such, NewsNation would naturally lean more to the right than other mainstream news outlets because, in Sook’s view, the political perspectives of journalists in most newsrooms lean to the left.

In other words, they say, since everyone else is liberal, we lean to the right, and therefore we are centrist, and not on the right. Genius. -- GreenC 23:09, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NewsNation is centrist, except for Leland Vittert. Philosopher Spock (talk) 23:29, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Their idea of "centrist" is right-leaning, because all the other press is apparently so far to the left, they are providing balance to the right, this creating a "centrist" position. This is literally what they said. I've never heard such nonsense. It's transparent they are right-leaning, but don't want to come out and say so, lest they alienate half their potential audience. So they hide behind logical fallacies. -- GreenC 02:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
