Talk:Arthur Ernest Morgan

message: The article as currently written omits any reference to the titantic conflict between Morgan and David E. Lilienthal that led to Morgan's departure from the TVA. A key source on the struggle is Thomas K.McCraw's Morgan vs. Lilienthal: The Feud within the TVA  (Loyola University Press, 1970). -- Cuppysfriend (talk) 23:44, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Morgan-Lilienthal controversy

message: I'm no expert on the subject, but it seems to me that the link "Arthur E. Morgan, Human Engineer and College President" appears to be written by his mother. Or perhaps his dog. (Rumoured titles left on the cutting room floor include "Arthur E. Morgan, Jesus Christ and superstar" and "Arthur E. Morgan, check out the size of his Magic Johnson.") Either way it seems a tad, how shall I say, reverential, rather than informational. Everyone who disagrees with Morgan is apparently wrong, those poor fools. And if you didn't know before, you'll learn in this article that Morgan, in fact, thwarted the corrupt FDR. Because FDR is corrupt. Or maybe you didn't know that either. Perhaps it's more informative than I thought. If it's to be included as a link, include it under a disclaimer such as "OMG they love him, here's a completely one-sided view of Arthur Morgan's life and acheivements. Sliced bread for everyone." Or maybe, "Mamma, you say everything (sic) the devil." 
Not to say he's a bad dude, but David Lilienthal isn't the Anti-Christ either. As tongue-in-cheek as my criticism is, I didn't submit it without reason. Check out the  article, you'll see what I mean. Holla.

Well, that piece is rather favorable toward Morgan... it wasn't his mother, but a minister, delivering a sermon about Morgan just after he had died.  It's not common to use eulogies to attack or criticize people.  I'm new to Wikipedia so I don't know what policy is about bias of sources; one solution would be to post a countervailing link, wouldn't it?  Perhaps from a bio of Lilienthal? People seemed to have radical or polarized reactions to Morgan all through his life, either idolizing him or attacking him; but I don't read so much bias in Harrington's piece as you do.  It doesn't say FDR was corrupt, it just mentions corruption, of which there's certainly plenty in any government.  Anyway, at least it's background.  I didn't post the link, btw.
