This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy.

This article contains unconfirmed information as to the subject's father's death due to alcoholism which is potentially libelous, (example: quoting the NYTimes is not a legal defense against libel against Wiki). I did not find the reference to Mr. Steel's father's alcoholism-related death in the reference material (website) the editor stated it is in. In addition, this article contains an entire section headed "Criticisms" with no balanced section of Achievements. Almost every comment is made by persons of the opposing political party of this subject or magazines and newspapers well-known to be politically slanted. The discussion page is another indicator. It is so obvious it is embarassing for this Wiki editor to read, even by an Independent with little to no interest in politics. This article should be heavily revised or deleted altogether. Again, it is potentially libelous. Mugginsx ( talk) 12:03, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
hey mug, can you actually cite specifics? i am a republican and consider myself fairly balanced as well and yet even i have to admit that some of the scandals noted in the criticisms section had massive media coverage and were very noteworthy. and if wikipedia can't even cite the new york times (because you find it slanted) or even other top republicans?! what the hell can it cite? 71.195.250.10 ( talk) 03:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
i went ahead and re-added the long standing material user mugginsx deleted in january reasoning that wikipedia should not report on anything potentially negative about michael steele since that only belongs in "blogs". someone also needs to add coverage of the recent spending scandal that even top republicans commented on during today's sunday morning talkshows. i came to wikipedia for information on it and was shocked to find nothing. 71.195.250.10 ( talk) 03:23, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia conveys its bias once again in 2012. How much is Steele paying for the whitewashing? Cybersharque ( talk) 08:00, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
The section titled "Political positions" has grown to be a long list. I suggest that this either be shortened (more concise), or that a new article Political positions of Michael Steele be created like: Political positions of Pat Buchanan, Political positions of Rudy Giuliani, and Political positions of Fred Thompson with a concise summary and link on the main Michael Steele page. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 19:38, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Talks with Fox News and CNN before signing with MSNBC. In a statement, Steele said, "It's an honor to contribute and engage in the dialogue on MSNBC…I look forward to engaging a diverse audience to share insights and analysis about the people, issues, and events shaping America's future. I'm sure our discussions will be both informative and a bit spirited!"
"I'm thrilled to have Michael join MSNBC," said Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, in a statement. "His strong voice and opinions will be a great addition to all of our programs."
