Susan Glasser[edit]

might be worth giving her her own article (she is EIC of FP magazine, after all) rather than treating her as an extension of her husband. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.203.134.76 (talk) 20:14, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

not to be trusted[edit]

this guy loves to scream sex/sex/sex in his political reporting. he was extensively criticized by Bob Somerby for his recent reporting of the effect of Governor Spitzer's sex scandal on Hilary clinton's campaign:

BAKER: " It may be that voters conclude that Spitzer’s indiscretions have nothing at all to do with whether Hillary Clinton can effectively serve as president. And it may be that Spitzer ultimately does resign, allowing the political dialogue to move on. "

Really? It may be that voters conclude that? Why on earth would voters conclude that Eliot Spitzer’s indiscretions bore on the question of Clinton’s effectiveness? The analysts enjoyed a good solid laugh at Baker’s silly, Starr-era clowning.

Not a fan of the proposed text. Try submitting edit requests which are simpler, perhaps with specific markup for easier implementation. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:20, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
