Ryan Girdusky

Ryan Girdusky redirects here, but is not explained in the article. Should he be mentioned, or should the redirect be deleted? I was checking to see if there was coverage in Wikipedia of his banning from CNN. -- Beland (talk) 00:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I too was redirected to this article after searching on "Ryan Girdusky", to find no mention of him at all on the page. I second the request to delete the redirect. 2602:306:C4CE:91A9:397A:B764:372:1D33 (talk) 00:59, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Far-right

The channel is not far-right. It is conservative. 68.162.214.184 (talk) 23:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is well supported. Our opinions don't matter. See the FAQ at the top of this page. O3000, Ret. (talk) 01:17, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that it is called "far right," which is a collective option of only the far left, should be a matter of concern. This is an opinion, and an inaccurate one. The channel is right of center, but the far left doesn't understand that. 2601:6C1:503:2F00:65AF:C4FC:7E27:2D14 (talk) 05:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per the FAQ at the top of the page, "the 'far-right' descriptor is amply and reliably sourced. A prior request for comment resulted in unambiguous consensus to support the 'far-right' descriptor based on reliable, independent secondary sources." See also the article "DirecTV to drop far-right channel OAN from its service" (citation #1), which OANN published on its own website. — Newslinger talk 06:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
