If this woman is a journalist then I'm Pee Wee Herman. 41.254.5.153 (talk) 20:32, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

LOL spot on bro 41.254.5.38 (talk) 15:37, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is a serious allegation being made from Voltaire Network, which this article had to report in its context, notably given that Lizzie Phelan is a Voltaire Network free-lance reporter and is photographed alongside Walter Fauntroy in the very article making it. This should however be POV-balanced although that the allegation was made is of course clearly verifiable GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 12:35, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

This article needs that. It sounds like a fan page. Lizzie was never anything close to POV-balanced. 71.228.158.108 (talk) 00:03, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where does the article imply that she's POV balanced. Its not as if any journalist is actually unbiased. Its just that most western journalists are biased towards mainstream views so we don't notice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.90.232 (talk) 15:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The following words/phrases imply a lack of bias:

Berlin, media, company, owned, critical, documentaries, reporter, correspondent, dispatches, "from the field", journalist, work, news, network, freelance, analyst, newsroom, witness, crimes, "held captive", accuracy, impartiality, correct, assertions, availability, license, covered, "from the ground", interviewed, international. 73.65.125.18 (talk) 16:37, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@174.117.90.232:

1. Bona-fide journalists don't take sides when reporting stories. This woman does, therefore what she does isn't journalism, but a horribly lousy imitation of it. 2. The point you try to make about "bias towards mainstream views" is nonsensical bullshit. 3. Wikipedia is supposed to be a neutral source of information, and this article as the gentleman above mentioned, sounds like a fan page and is anything but. 4. Questions end with a question mark.

tl;dr You, sir, idiot, and are.

sources

I have retagged the article with unreliable sources, based on significant issues with many of the sources cited (please see the reliable sources noticeboard). Some of the sources cited are reliable, that does not dismiss the issue of the unreliable ones. Too many of these sources are blog/opinion/highly biased/fringe sites Gaijin42 (talk) 03:07, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion about RT

A published source and some editors are confusing Ruptly TV for Russia Today, which both go by the abbreviation RT. Most sources say Russia Today. Crtew (talk) 10:09, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
