Removed content

Personal attributes were removed from the body of the page; please provide a source.

Added information

I added a bit about controversy surrounding Howard Kurtz's views on Don Imus. It's well documented with sources cited. The scandal involving Don Imus' alleged racism was a huge media issue and other journalists' role in supporting him was a big part of that, enough so that it was the subject of an ad on the op-ed page of the New York Times. Kurtz was an influential enough figure to warrant an entire column by another journalist devoted to Kurtz's support of Imus, so I thought it an important subject to cover. I also included Kurtz's response of the early critique to ensure balance. Langtry (talk) 21:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Political Ideology

I believe that this article seems to focus more on where he stands on the political spectrum than anything else. Thus I added a NPOV tag, as much of the tone of the article comes across as a smear rather than as an objective and encyclopedic article. Feel free to dispute the tag if you disagree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.52.191.251 (talk) 06:41, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree whole-heartedly. There is not much biography here, instead seems to be a collection of opinions. If anyone knows more of the facts about Howard's life, please revise. Tubbyty (talk) 15:48, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV Tag

The NPOV tag has been here long enough. I am going to try and clean this up to the point that it achieves neutrality. not done yet however. --Mdukas (talk) 05:59, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Political Affiliation

I'm not sure why the fact he has publicly declined to state his political affiliation is relevant. It's very obvious that he is a liberal Democrat,he's one of Fox News Channel's token liberals. When he was host of CNN's Reliable Sources, and when he wrote for the Washington Post, it was even more obvious. --ECayce187 (talk) 03:54, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No one works at Fox News for years if they are a liberal. Howard's wife works for various Republicans and has for years. Howard is a Conservative. Editor45687 (talk) 04:01, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence in lead mildly incoherent

Kurtz is the host of Fox News Channel's Media Buzz program, and the successor to Fox News Watch.

The most sensible interpretation is that Buzz is the successor of Watch, but if so the connection wouldn't be 'and' (you'd be looking for a 'which is'). PS: Does this even count as a lead-worthy factoid? — MaxEnt 19:44, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nickname?

Would I be correct in asserting that "Howie Kurtz" is both a notable nickname as well as how he's mostly addressed/recognized as on-air at FNC? GeoPick99 (talk) 06:28, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
