thread_title:  Spammy 

message: I see that the article presently contains a negative comment about Brinkley's biography of John Kerry from the conservative Weekly Standard magazine.
Such an overtly conservative source like the Weekly Standard can only be expected to make a negative statement about a John Kerry book.  I would expect likewise from a liberal source commenting on a book about, say, Ronald Reagan.
To me, such criticism would be significant only if it came from a neutral source .  
As such, I think this quote should be removed; and if someone has a negative criticism of the Kerry book from a neutral source, it should be added to the article in lieu of the Weekly Standard review.  --Skb8721 (talk) 17:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: ''Weekly Standard'' Quote

message: Brinkley got into a heated exchange with U.S. Rep. Don Young as seen here.  Not sure if it's significant enough to add a sentence or two to the main article, but I offer it in case anyone wishes to do so.  Thanks.  --Art Smart Chart/Heart 10:03, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dust Up with Rep. Don Young 

message: Be sure to lookout for Dr. Brinkley's name being changed to Rice. I assume it is from the encounter between Rep. Don Young and Dr. Brinkley and someone changed the name out of vindictiveness. Wanted to post so people will look out for it if it happens again.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.185.203.194 (talk) 11:10, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name Change 

message: I removed the sentence "After a storngly pro-Obama profile that was written by Brinkley appeared in Rolling Stone, blogger/ writer Kevin Nograsek wrote: 'Here's the funny thing that Mr. Brinkley and President Obama have in common. If you disagree with their delusional theories...they get angry...Brinkley's article proves to be crap on top of more piles of crap.'" from Critical Reception. The quote is unsourced, and a Google search for the alleged writer turns up no one notable by that name. The section already includes both positive and negative notices from notable figures, so the inclusion of an unsourced and borderline vulgar comment by someone of no notable import or expertise seems unwarranted, on several grounds, including undue weight and lack of citation.MayerG (talk) 03:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
