message: I removed the following:
*On his radio show, G. Gordon Liddy, attempting to tell some ethnic humor, once said that Chung's real name was "Nissan Datsun Toyota" and that the first English words she learned to say were "You yankee pirot, tell us where American pranes are coming flom."
If untrue, this is libelous and thus violates our policy on writing about living people.  If true, it needs a source.  Powers T 13:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Powers: It is true, I heard it in (or near) 1999.  He even refered to it on the next broadcast of his radio show, dismissing the criticism of his comments as an overreaction to lighthearted humour.  But you are correct, we should locate a citation or a MP3 of the remark before putting it back in the article.72.82.206.156 23:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have returned back the deleted section about Connie Chung's remarks about Chinese people
being spies. I believe that this type of comment by her should be included among the
"controversies" of her career. Someone (MingTing?) has deleted it, characterizing it as
"uncited" and "unfounded". I don't know what "unfounded" means, and would be happy to hear a
clarification, but it is certainly cited. Perhaps what is meant was that her (in my opinion) disgusting and sellout remarks are unfounded, which I would tend to agree. But that's what
makes them controversal, I believe. 206.41.93.154 03:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

message: What about mentioning Bobby Lee's relentless impressions of her on Mad TV?  For a lot of people particularly outside of the US, that version of Connie Chung is possibly more famous than she is.  Mrrealtime (talk) 01:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Nothing in the article shows that she is still active after 2006 - needs more to show that if indeed true. SergeWoodzing (talk) 07:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I am going to change it back to "Active", because the article quickly states that she was a judge for Miss Universe 2011. And I don't know of any sources that states she has retired. In-Correct (talk) 20:34, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I never got the chance to tell her I'm sorry.
In the Nov of 1973 Connie was sent to Saratoga California to cover a private high school that had students stranded over-nite by a snow storm. To make matters worse the bus sent to pick them up was under two trees that had fallen on it before the kids could be loaded.
She was trying to hitch a ride up to the school with her camer man and sound man behind her. She asked for a ride from a too young to be driving kid at the wheel of the bus he was driving. He told her that just that morning he could only carry students faculty and parents of student on the bus. I know because I was that bus driver. At the time I was only 18, one of the youngest school bus drivers in the state of California.
Today I'm still driving for a living, but I support the troops in Iraq by driving the trucks that supply them. Connie I'm sorry I didn't get to take you for a ride, I know you must have been freezing in the back of that dump truck that followed me.Jonhenry78 (talk) 12:26, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Connie Chung did a two part story on dateline in 1990 on a severely MRDD girl who became pregnant. The last episode I saw they were looking for the culprit who did this to the girl. They were testing the brother-in-law and the nephew who did they find out to be the one that fathered the child and did the baby come out ok due tho her being on heavy medication during her preganancy and if the baby lived what happened to the baby and the girl? Did the sister keep the baby?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.66.200.167 (talk) 19:46, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Backendgaming (talk) keeps on removing her Chinese ethnicity tag, as well all references of her being of Chinese ancestry. I agree with him for removing the Chinese Jews tag, but there is a difference between nationality and ethnicity. Also, despite deleting all the Chinese tags and all references of her being ethnically Chinese, they specifically left in the Taiwanese American tag, which as per previous discussion, should not apply to her whatsoever. Her parents all were born in Mainland China before the Civil War and only stayed in Taiwan for a couple of years after the war before immigrating to the United States and giving birth to her. They have also removed credible sources where Connie herself discussed her past and ancestry. I have reverted those changes and replaced the Taiwanese tag. If anymore changes are made by the previous user. I would ask a moderator to look into this, thanks. Obsilord (talk) 16:36, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

message: In the section on the Martina Navratilova interview, it says that Chung labeled Navratilova's criticisms of the U.S. political system "un-American" and "unpatriotic", and suggested she should "go back to Czechoslovakia", also saying "love it or leave it."
This indicates a far right political orientation on the part of Chung. The article should include further discussion of this --- is it an anomaly or is there more to the idea of a far right political orientation? ---Dagme (talk) 18:09, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
