Without Peer?

[edit]

Does the description "This year-long program is without peer at any academic institution in the nation" fail the peacock terms test? —Noah 04:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've just taken it out and tagged the article with peacock. Tacyarg (talk) 00:43, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Libelous?

[edit]

The article states that the movie, "The Insider," portrayed Bergman as fighting to get a "potentially libelous" report about big tobacco on the air. The movie never uses the term "libelous" and does not discuss that particular tort. As portrayed in the movie, CBS was worried about being sued for "tortious interferance" with the confidentiality agreement in Wigman's contract. The article should be edited to correct this incorrect statement. Greg 07:59, 23 November 2007

Elements of film used as fact

[edit]

I've removed parts of the Television Career paragraph, as it contained too much data about the feature film "The Insider", and because these data were used as if they represented the real story - while the film itself specifically states it's partly fiction. The text that remains still seems to me to be too dependant on the story as presented by the film. However, I can't be sure. Someone in the know? Wurdnurd (talk) 23:45, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality concern seems unwarranted

[edit]

I'm not seeing any basis for the use of the neutrality template on this article, no discussion as appears to be required, so I'm removing it. If there is a genuine neutrality issue, feel free to reinstate the template but please discuss it here. CheeseStakeholder (talk) 15:03, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
