Talk:Leah McLaren

message: I am placing the POV tag on this article.  My original text describing criticisms of McLaren was deleted, and no one has come forward with any alternative wording.  McLaren's presence at the Globe has been controversial virtually since her appointment, and there is plenty of evidence on the web (the deleted links are just a few examples) of this.  The trouble is that, when Stephen Strauss (another Globe columnist) criticized the original article, it seems to have provoked a fear of another John Siegenthaler-style backlash.  Never mind that in Siegenthaler's case the accusations were clearly libelous, which they certainly were not here.  The article as is cannot be considered unbiased as it completely obliterates criticism of this writer.  If no one submits any alternative, I will restore my original text.  We should not let ourselves be intimidated by the Globe and Mail. Tyronen 22:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  well, there is THIS twaddle 

message: Zoe Charlotte Greenberg put out a long article describing how she was sexually assaulted by McLaren, and how this is (incorrectly) described as a consensual threesome in the memoir.

thread_title:  Inaccurate reference 

message: The article has been semi-protected so cannot edit myself. In controversies, the first mention of McLaren's name is wrongly typed as McLearn. Thank you Real.poupoune (talk) 16:33, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
