I just read the source backing up the statement, "According to Milbank, the nickname given to him by the president is "not printable in a family publication."
Here's the relevant text from the source: BK: President Bush is famous for giving nicknames to members of the press corps. Do you have a nickname? DM: It’s not printable in a family publication.
Having seen Milbank appear on the Keith Olbermann show several times, he comes across as having a dry sense of humor. Are we certain that what he said in this interview isn't just an exaggeration? Has he repeated this elsewhere? 98.215.54.162 ( talk) 00:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
By you that's NPOV? Are you saying that everything the man writes is on the direct orders of his rabbi? I'm going to remove that description because it's completely inappropriate and raises questions about the motivations of the person who created this article.

Is this really a "controversy"? Is it more of a "controversy" then the time Milbank wore the hunting outfit on air as a Cheney joke? If it were I would expect to see some better sources than TPM, Huffpo and Olberman.
Also Milbank has had a fairly long career and one column that no mainstream sources noted as “controversial” is half of this article? That would seem to be a gross violation of WP:WEIGHT, and I will delete it. CENSEI ( talk) 18:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
It is covered by Politico and TPM and Olbermann are reputable sources.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_Points_Memo has won serious journalism awards such as the Polk Award. -- John Bahrain ( talk) 18:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, that, and the column resulted in Milbank quitting MSNBC and going to CNN, which you know, is part of Milbank's biography. — goethean ॐ 18:29, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
NPOV says that the article should fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by a reliable source, and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each.
The guy had to resign for misrepresenting Obama's words in an national newspaper column.
User:CENSEI has again removed the talkingpointsmemo.com ref, discussed above, from the article. — goethean ॐ 16:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) Also, I read the citation for Milbank not being allowed on Oberman's show without a retraction and didn't see it in there. Did I miss it? Its quite a long read. Thank you. -- 70.181.45.138 ( talk) 00:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
User:CENSEI has sparked a minor revert war with removal of reliably-sourced text related to this issue. Here is a copy of the comment I left on the editor's talk page:
This non-neutral editing will need to be monitored. -- Scjessey ( talk) 17:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
However, great care must be taken to distinguish news reporting from opinion pieces. Opinion pieces are only reliable for statements as to the opinion of their authors, not for statements of fact. When citing opinion pieces from newspapers or other mainstream news sources, in-text attribution should be given.
To use the Obamaphilic TPM or Huffington post as a source for facts and not just opinions-- no wonder that this person spent a lot of time at Conservapedia and is now blocked here. Jibal ( talk) 10:14, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

As I recall, President Obama assured Rupert Murdoch that he would not revive the Equal Time Provision. I was able to rebut reports in the 1960,s by conservative LA broadcaster George Putnam made against then California Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally.
Probably one of Obama’s worst mistakes. Look at Fox Slooze since then. Why not do a column on Nancy reviving it? 2600:1700:7BE0:8B50:0:0:0:44 ( talk) 23:25, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
