The "controversies" section is not only lacking any kind of source whatsoever--it has several typos. Is a website comment section really what we're considering a source these days? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.0.175.144 ( talk) 08:19, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Where is the bio on Brian Ross? Where & when was he born? Where did he go to school? Military service? college? sins? adultery? marriages, divorces? Where is the Bio??? ( EnochBethany ( talk) 05:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC))
This biography accentuates his screwups and in my opinion is unbalanced. I am tagging for POV. I am not comfortable with removing or reducing the "controversies" section as it is substantive, but surely more can be put in the rest of the bio. Until then it is out of balance.

Article list's as a "major scoop" Mr. Ross's report that the US Government was monitoring the telephone connections used by reporters from various media outlets like the New York Times amongst others. Is there any secondary source that substantiates the allegation or any award or official recognition that this was, indeed, a major scoop? Did the New York Times or others pick up and run with this story? I don't see a basis for it being categorized a "major scoop" absent either official recognition or wider acceptance by his major media peers. 76.239.24.140 ( talk) 18:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
The "Controversies" section is a random laundry list of non-encyclopedic content. Any relevant content should all be folded into the narrative section. The MOS argues against such stand alone "Controversy" sections, particularly for BLP items. -- The Red Pen of Doom 17:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
This section of the article contains a paragraph discussing a report Mr. Ross made that Pakistan was offering a safe-harbor to bin-Laden. There are no references supporting it's notability, no peers picked up on the story, no awards, nothing. 76.239.24.140 ( talk) 18:36, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Maybe I shouldn't have reorganized and fixed in the same edit, but I think my recent edit improved the article, and I'd appreciate it if we could discuss it rather than having an edit war. In general, it's poor style to have a heading per paragraph, so from a style perspective the reverted version is less good than the version that was reverted.
at first glance, i will say that [4] looks like a great step in the right direction. The section heading might be "News career" or something and weave in elements of who he is working for if he is not freelance. -- The Red Pen of Doom 19:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Article now lacks clarity and is unintelligible. All introduced because some want Mr. Ross's history to be muddied in some misguided attempt to introduce neutrality. Mr. Ross's article was a chronicle of those elements of his career that have been found notable by reliable sources. On balance it appears that the article renders his career in an unfavorable light. This is neither the fault of Wiki editors - nor is it our place to "correct". Destroying readability in order to accomplish mis-guided and inappropriate editorial goals does a disservice to the encyclopedia and our readers. 76.239.24.140 ( talk) 21:12, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Is this the Brian Ross who is married to Ann Curry of NBC's Today show??? If anybody knows, can they please put it in the article? Thanks in advance to anybody who knows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 ( talk • contribs) 18:31, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
I noticed that the page reads like a rather pro-Ross piece, talking disproportionately about his awards and not mentioning his various controversies. Since this doesn't line up with the above about his controversies, I looked at the edit history and it seems User:BPURD did some extensive editing in February to make Ross look good. 108.85.148.69 ( talk) 03:57, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
