message: ::His most extensive work on the topic of 9/11, Suicide Pact, does not express any sympathy with the position, nor have any of his public statements since.
There is no citation as to the alleged content of the book Suicide Pact. Particularly, It appears the OR sentence was intended to falsely use the unrelated book's alleged content as basis for tilting the debate on the meaning of the non-related 9/11 allegations.
Napolitano clearly stated that the 9/11 affair will be doubted by skeptics on both sides. I found no weight either way except for the fact the Napolitano appeared at a Truther show granting credibility to the conspiracist by his sole appearance on the show.
Actually the retaining of such language in Wikipedia tends to support conspiracists as it may be inferred that the defector was "put in line" for "coming out of the closet".
I suggest to simply scrap the OR tagged sentence.64.237.239.252 (talk) 17:25, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Original Research tag to alleged content of Suicide Pact book 

message: Various websites have attributed the Feb 2012 cancellation of Napolitano's show to his support for presidential candidate Ron Paul and other positions perceived as outside of the poltical mainstream. But one example can be found in this link: http://americanfreepress.net/?p=2841. Internet searches will reveal a number of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.189.243 (talk) 20:16, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick look at the Fox News website indicates he is still "senior judicial analyst" and posted commentary as recently as yesterday (March 2, 2012). While it is true that the blogs have postulated a variety of theories why the show he hosted was cancelled, he clearly was not fired by the network. Ratings looks to be the prime culprit given the ongoing shakeup in the lineup.

The data was "widely" disseminated, which was asserted by Napolitano.  Oh Oh... looks like Judge N may have been correct afterall.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:181:C381:1C4C:20FD:C871:46BD:EC2E (talk) 19:19, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Further, it looks like there is NSA evidence of "wiretapping" of Trump team so characterizing Napolitano's opinion as conspiracy theory may be wrong.  A wait-and-see posture may make more sense at this point.  http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/325435-nrcc-email-falsely-proclaims-obama-surveillance-of-trump and http://trib.com/news/national/govt-and-politics/the-latest-trump-defends-wiretapping-claims/article_816dd790-4aef-5be3-ba20-34cae3df96a1.html

thread_title: Suspended from Fox?

message: I am unqualified to submit a change so I just did the legwork and leave it to some reader to make the change.
Trump's stated position:
"All we did was quote a certain, very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television," Trump said. "I didn't make an opinion on it. That was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on Fox. And so you shouldn't be talking to me, you should be talking to Fox."
Of many sources, one is
https://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonwells/trump-deflects-wiretapping-question
At any rate, "The allegation was later asserted as fact by Trump" is completely false. Perhaps consider
"The accusation was later reported by a Trump spokesperson"24.27.72.99 (talk) 05:33, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  footnotes  

message: Sensational allegations in the opening paragraph do not define Napolitano's extensive career, giving the allegations undue weight.
They may be related to his media career, but note that the lawsuits were dismissed.
In addition, dates and wording around this issue are not correct.
Napolitano was not "terminated" or "let go." According to straight-reporting media, they "parted ways," some said "parted amicably." 
He left Fox in June 2021, not after the Fawcett allegations were made public more than a month later.
Fox News labeled the Fawcett allegations "baseless," and said "the complaint does not meet the standards of the law."
I will remove the allegations from the opening paragraph.
I will review wording and dates in the media career section and may edit them to reflect reality or remove them. Photoloop (talk) 04:44, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this article in The Daily Beast, Napolitano was "oustedousted from Fox News following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct." Even if the suits were dismissed or withdrawn, we have that. I agree that we need to be careful in this or any BLP but we can't necessarily ignore that kind of material. Coretheapple (talk) 21:50, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: In the story you reference, he "split with the network" in August. But he left in June. They repeat the incorrect August timeframe lower down. So the publication has zero authority on this. The same complainant spoke about Larry Kudlow and Fox News. Why isn't the story referenced in those pages? All of the allegations were openly refuted, and all of the cases were dismissed. Napolitano refuted it all in public and it was even documented in your reference. Not a single publication that I can find said that he lied about that. So absent evidence nobody else has, we have to accept that those things were not true, and therefore they should not be aired in Wikipedia. High profile people are targets for this kind of thing and there's a good reason Wikipedia does not and should not be used to play those games. It isn't fair to hound people with garbage like this, or to add it to Wikipedia, even if the media circus writes about it and then they all cite each other. Circular citations don't make something true. Photoloop (talk) 02:32, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
