This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Matthew Sheffield (2006-04-23). "Liberal Bias at Wikipedia?". Newsbusters. The discussion revolves around Cox's attempts to edit Wikipedia's entry on MSNBC host Keith Olbermann to make it more politically neutral (a stated goal of the site) and to include facts that were left out. Cox contends that his changes were continually discarded by fans of Olbermann who monitor the article, seeking to ensure that it reflects their liberal views

A WP:CONTROVERSYSECTION violates WP:NPOV. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:50, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This content that I removed was a poorly formatted controversy section without the section header. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:45, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All of the news articles are cited a d up to the standards of the site. You know you can’t just keep removing since you don’t like them and they fit the rules and articles are true. 2601:188:CA80:7060:C532:ACED:10EA:CB45 (talk) 19:55, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn’t poorly formatted 2601:188:CA80:7060:C532:ACED:10EA:CB45 (talk) 19:58, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It wasnt poorly formatted lol. What are we even doing here!?? 98.217.161.235 (talk) 21:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you lock the page that was unnecessary? 2601:188:CA80:7060:B8D3:59F7:40B2:E479 (talk) 20:08, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a rouge [sic] editor, I'm an admin and I imagine that I know the rules here better than you do. This is a WP:BLP and any new addition that is objected to requires WP:CONSENSUS. I have protected the page for now to stop you from edit warring. Your disruptive editing made it necessary. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:09, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Poor formatting is evident at the very beginning of the content where you start a sentence November 2020 after the 2020 election... In that paragraph, you then go on to make the comment Olbermann’s racially charged comment in Wikivoice. I see lots of poor sourcing from WP:NYPOST and WP:FOXNEWS. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:11, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was very necessary. Muboshgu, is this the return of User:JohnPaos? Drmies (talk) 20:10, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't thought about who it is, I'm usually slow to connect it to sockpuppetry. It could well be. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:12, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/JohnPaos, it checks out. It's the same content. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:30, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Romantic partners

Should there not at least in the personal section be a mention of WNBC's Katy Tur with whom he lived for three years? Rustygecko (talk) 06:27, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. On her Wikipedia page there is mention of it. luckymustard (talk) 14:45, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
