Talk:Jerry Doyle

message: A sentence mistakenly stated that Doyle was not in the concluding episode of the Babylon 5 series. Michael Garibaldi was, indeed, in that episode. (Episode 110 - Sleeping in Light)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.70.38 (talk) 02:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

"Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has said the entire Republican Party suffers from what she calls the "culture of corruption." Download this letter and send it to her as we have done on The Jerry Doyle Show asking her to swear that she does not have a single bad ethical mark on her record." www.jerrydoyle.com

:: Second, while I agree that the statement's not appropriate for an encyclopedia article as written,, I don't think this can be described as "political pandering", it's POV.  If it were a direct quote from Doyle--to illustrate his political view points--then I think it would be acceptable.

thread_title:  POV issue 

message: On 20 Jan 2010 a segment of Doyle's show featured Joseph Farah, the founder of WorldNetDaily. At one point Doyle mentioned that this was the 30th anniversary of the release of the U.S. hostages and boasted that this had occurred as soon as Reagan had been inaugurated. Doyle and Farah proceeded to berate President Jimmy Carter for having been a weak President. They boasted at length about the supposedly strong President Reagan, whose potential retaliatory actions supposedly scared the Iranians into releasing the hostages. Neither mentioned that the Teheran embassy had been occupied by university students, that Reagan had nothing to do with their release, and that there are lingering questions about Reagan-Bush delaying their release for their perverse political advantage. Moreover, Doyle and Farah conveniently ignored that, under Reagan, more than 60 people were killed when the U.S. embassy in Beirut was bombed on 18 April 1983. Subsequently, 241 American servicemen were killed in the 23 October 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. In addition, during the Lebanon hostage crisis many American and western hostages were taken, some of whom were murdered. Italus (talk) 23:46, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Im a little confused here. Wikipedia probably exists with 10-15% of it's content focused soley on careers of one hit wonder television personalities. Every joe that makes it on a reality show basically has his own wikipedia page, some rather detailed.
I've never seen IMDB seen as an untrustworthy reference in the past especially since Wikipedia permits self-references in the event the object has a website.
Is there any special reason this was applied to the Jerry Doyle page?Woods01 (talk) 03:53, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate I'm responding six years to the day after you posed your question, but in the time between then and now, IMDB is certainly not considered to be a reliable source. But it is perfectly acceptable as an external link. Miyagawa (talk) 08:59, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Yes, I know, living (US) persons biography, libel danger, yadda yadda yadda, but even for a living persons biography, it is just too little to just list that he was a House of Representatives nominee for the Republican party (was he a straw candidate against someone with a comfortable majority, or had he real chances of winning?) and later severed his ties with the party. He is a political commentator, for god's sake! He must express a political viewpoint that helps putting him into a coordinate grid about his views. Other people surely will comment on his conservative comments. He must have taken stances in political issues normally associated with conservative or republican political denominations. For Christ's sake, the article :de:Mike Huckabee gives more infos on a (in Germany) totally unknown politician than this article about an US-American publicist!
