liberal bias in article[edit]

Why does every entry have to be leftwing? How about a little bit of BALLANCE for a change? --24.151.125.150 (talk) 21:56, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No Dirt on Mona ??[edit]

The last time I wrote a little something on a writer I frequently read some prissy liberals complained that I was too positive and they repeatedly took out my edits in favor of their article which was very biased AGAINST the subject.

But I cannot find any dirt on Mona. Sorry!

I did find one critical website (which is not very good and is no longer updated) which I put in the external links. I did not put in any quotes because the libs really hate that. If you have anything really awful to put in about this lady than please do so. I could not find anything bad to put in except of course that she is a Republican meanie.

I would like to put in her husband's name but I could not find it. He is politically active and has worked on several senatorial campaigns but that is all I know about him.

Also the dates she served on Captital gang would be nice.

Also a picture would be good. Can I use the one that always appears with her columns I wonder?

-- Mccommas

I'm glad you took the time to so clearly illustrate your point of view. Anyone who posts their political affiliation so easily should simply not be writing for the wikipedia. I'm guessing that those "prissy liberals" you claim to know are less biased than you; after all, you seem to have no trouble calling people names. Very mature. And no, I'm not a "liberal" or any other token you wish to brand me with, so spare yourself the effort. Maury 21:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, whatever you may not be, you certainly are someone who uses logical fallacy, eh? BonniePrinceCharlie 16:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

external links[edit]

I removed the following link as it seems dead, as well as two links to the Amazon pages for Charen's books:

Charen Watch (critical website)

--Andymussell 23:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we certainly would not want anyone to get the idea they should read them after all....

Several public pictures of her appear with her column in the online e-zine Jewish World Review (http://www.jewishworldreview.com)

Date of Birth needed[edit]

To put Charen in proper time era perspective we should have her date of birth, either actual or circa. I would assume from the connections mentioned in the article that she was born in the 1940's or early 1950's. --TGC55 (talk) 02:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zabasearch gives Mona's birth as Jan. 1950

Biography[edit]

Charen's biography seems to be a bit too much like a press release. I don't think its biased... but needs a style rewrite. V. Joe (talk) 21:54, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CPAC[edit]

She was not only booed, but escorted out; and not only was it Moore but also Trump whom she criticized: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/02/24/columnist-escorted-out-cpac-after-calling-out-conservatives-supporting-trump-moore/370304002/Kdammers (talk) 02:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
