message: Somebody should mention his NCSU commencement speech, Take a Liberal to Lunch which had wide press in, I think, 2003 - he was booed off the stage, and the speech created a controversy for the administration of the school at the time.--24.176.68.73 14:28, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be noteworthy if he were actually booed off of the stage, but that never happened.  Only a handful of of the 4000 students walked out. 71.104.150.83 04:13, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Phil Donahue is still a Catholic, although he is critical of some of the Church's policies.  http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9803E1DF1E3FF93BA15757C0A9649C8B63

replies: text: Upon reading the New York Times article, mentioned above, in no way does this article make the assertion that Phil Donahue is still a Catholic. It only mentions his disdain for the annulment process. Mr.Donahue has admitted he is not a practicing Catholic, and during his television show's heydays, he routinely mocked Christianity in general, and showed complete contempt for the Catholic Church. He is currenlty listed on several lists as an atheist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Factcorrect12 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The most recent Donahue event this article mentions is his appearance on the O'Reilly Factor in 2005.  In that interview Donahue seemed quite committed to the anti-war effort.  Has he been completely silent ever since, or does this article need updating? M. Frederick 00:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: why is this even in the article?  Is it really noteworthy?  It certainly isn't more noteworthy than the many interviews done that were substantial.  It sounds like O'Reiley bashing to me, and very POV. Bytebear (talk) 23:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I think Phil Donahue's politial activism should be noted here. He has been active in the anti-war movement and in Nader's 2000 campaign. Matt2h (talk) 03:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The citation given for the line, "Oprah Winfrey said "if it weren't for Phil Donahue, there never would have been an Oprah show." is http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Phil-Donahue-First-Time-Video. If you actually listen to the video, Oprah says no such thing. Yes, that text appears on the page, underneath the video - but no matter where it appears, it's completely unsupported by the video.
