Not balanced to portray Cho as Chinese and subject of right-wing conspiracy theories about PRC surveillance[edit]

I removed a Vice article to this effect. The Vice article is sourced entirely to unknown twitter users. Secondly, Vice is marginally WP:NPOV or WP:RS for Wikipedia. I could not find any other reporting from WP:RS that Cho was considered a "Chinese agent" watching over Biden at his inauguration!--FeralOink (talk) 08:29, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FeralOink, I completely disagree that there are the sources to back up this claim.

- https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/25/viral-image/photos-show-biden-secret-service-agent-not-chinese/

- https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dpjqk/no-biden-doesnt-have-a-chinese-handler-hes-a-us-secret-service-agent

This was a time where Cho's name was mentioned many times and 100% deserves to at least have a sentence in this article. I published this article originally after I read the articles accusing Cho of being a Chinese handler. Obviously it is not true, but the article deserves a mention of this.

Note: If I don't get a response within ~7 days I am going to add it back in.

Thanks,

I agree with @Andrew nyr:, in that it should be included. Nauseous Man (talk) 20:25, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. Please add it back in the article, sourcing Reuters rather than Vice. And Politico too. They are both WP:NPOV and WP:RS. Thank you for noticing!--FeralOink (talk) 14:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FeralOink, Thanks for the response, I have gone ahead and added it back. Andrew nyr (talk, contribs) 23:26, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
