Talk:Arthur J. Finkelstein

message: In the fall of 1996, New Jersey Network News interviewed Finklestein on camera and asked him several questions regarding a local U.S. Senate race.
So the picture caption, "The only known photo of Arthur J. Finkelstein" in the main article, probably needs to be editted for clarification.

thread_title: 1996 Videotaped Interview

message: In 1969 and 1970 a young man named Arthur Finkelstein worked for the New York Stock exchange in the Data Processing department.  He was about 25-27 years old, thin, about 6' tall with dark hair.  He was extremely well-read and articulate and often stated that he was a libertarian.  He worked at 11 Wall street which was next door to the Broad Street offices of Nixon's former law firm.  Could this be the same Arthur J. Finkelstein?

message: Yeah, definitely like an advertisement.  At this point the list of "former clients" does not include a single unsuccessful campaign. --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 01:05, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Article is a barely-disguised advertisement, and full of weasily non-encyclopedic tabloid-style language straight out of a Finkelstein and co. instruction book (like "signature efforts", "liberal voting record", "hard-hitting advertising", "soft-pedaling their anti-communism" "his liberal positions on issues", "a champion fundraiser", "the ostensible excuse", "ads that raised questions about the candidate's work ethic", and many more). This article has to be something more than it currently is, but it is quite clearly being "curated" by those seeking to keep it as it is. 92.3.118.48 (talk) 15:35, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

text: I think the above unnamed complainant doesn't like it when someone dares to write better than he does. Every phrase he cites -- and I mean EVERY one -- is in accordance with the facts. More than anyone in history, Finkelstein made his opponents' voting record the central issue in campaigns. That meant proving people were liberal; the "signature" 1988 Florida Senate campaign had the tagline, "Hey Buddy, You're a Liberal." The 1992 New York Senate campaign tagged Democrat Bob Abrams as "Hopelessly liberal." Etc. etc. In more factual news, Alfonse D'Amato raised and spent more in his 1998 Senate campaign than any other candidate -- and none of it was his own money. Hence, "champion fundraiser." The D'Amato ads against Schumer about his work ethic, bizarre as it seems, kept that race close until D'Amato imploded (described in excruciating detail). It's all cited, Finkelstein's wins and his losses (of which there were many, including the one to Schumer). GaryWMaloney (talk) 05:03, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Advertisement 

message: Majority of the conclusions in this segment are not substantiated and show a personal bias: "For good money, Finkelstein is serving the interest of Russia as well. From 2010, he is an advisor to the Hungarian government's shadow institution, Századvég, and Hungary's ruling party, Fidesz. Fidesz who employs Finkelstein as advisor through Századvég in Hungary, is backing Russia. Despite EU concerns and warning, Fidesz signed a contract with Russia to extend nuclear power plants in Hungary for 30 years. The contract is TOP SECRET for 80 years. So it seems Finkelstein is - indirectly - backing Putin and Russia in Eastern Europe."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.133.29.5 (talk) 11:37, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Personal bias, no third party references 

message: Its written more like a biographical novel the encyclopedic article. 
Not to mention this person is hardly notable enough to have a quote section. 
This is obviously the doing of himself or people in his behalf.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.116.122.116 (talk) 07:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
