CNN story[edit]

Fact-checking some of Siegel's statements.

Trump called Fox News doctor 'his guide.' CNN's Keilar rolls the tape
Jul 23, 2020
CNN's Brianna Keilar calls out various statements made by Fox News' Dr. Marc Siegel after President Trump praised him during an interview.

This should be a WP:RS, because the source is CNN, but if Youtube is unacceptable there should be a video and transcript on CNN's site.

Another huge coverage of doctor on December 16 2020 that should be included in article. IMO Wikipietime (talk) 18:35, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

The section about the Coronavirus is a violation of NPOV. Definitely gives undue weight and is politically charged. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 01:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is the NPOV violation? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The COVID-19 section is undue weight. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 01:41, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to reflect coverage of him in reliable sources. If you use your pedestal to spout misinformation about a pandemic that has killed half a million Americans, you'll get a lot of RS coverage. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:46, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The largest paragraph on his page discusses one comment he made regarding the Coronavirus being comparable to the flu. He made the remarks early in the pandemic, that's back when Dr. Fauci was telling everyone to take our masks off. It could maybe be briefly mentioned, like one sentence, but right now that paragraph is undue weight. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 04:25, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We reflect the reliable sources. If you think that there is some RS that we are disregarding, that's one thing. What I'm seeing here is just an assertion with no backing in RS. Neutrality^talk 00:20, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
