[edit]

I would like to suggest that the second paragraph of this article is biased and inflammatory. Partisan criticism can be attached to any newspaper, and often is, but I feel that the Tulsa World is sufficiently mainstream (this article even states as much) that it can by no means be viewed as "notorious" in this way.

This article clearly shows bias in the second paragraph. I would be one to strike it altogether. As well, I dispute the "liberal" label on the World. It may be seen as liberal compared to the Daily Oklahoman, I think even the Washington Times would be considered liberal compared to the Oklahoman. As well, the World endorsed GW Bush in the last two elections. --D Wilbanks 06:30, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I pulled the NPOV tag and cleaned up the article. A few of the statements need to be sourced, but I hope it captures the two points that a) the World is an "advocating" paper that rubs people the wrong way (especially conservatives), but b) to call them a liberal paper is ridiculous because they don't meet any of the standards of a liberal paper (e.g. endorsing Kerry/Gore). --D Wilbanks 18:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone from the World (209.184.242.241 traces back to tulsaworld.com) deleted the old version of the article and replaced it with what appears to be a boilerplate history of the paper (unwikified). I took the liberty of merging the history into the previous version of the article. I am unclear as to whether this history is under copyright and there able to be published under the Creative Commons. I would appreciate some help in determining the copyright status of that section, as well as some cites of historical facts included. --D Wilbanks 08:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ref for political leaning. Needs criticism section

[edit]

The politcal section was a mess with unsourced material. I have integrated unrelated material into the history section and removed some of the things that were obviously opinion (and seemingly written by a world staffer). Hopefully we can get some refs soon for the paper's political affiliation, which I'm sure is to the left. Also, it needs a criticism section, as there has been plenty of criticism of the paper's bias with different local issues. If anyone finds a ref for these things, just drop it off and I'd be happy to integrate it into the article. Okiefromoklatalk 20:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tulsa Tribune

[edit]

Why is there no entry for the Tulsa Tribune? A worthwhile competitor of the Tulsa World till the 90's, when it shut down after its long-time owner passed away. Why isn't there even a small writeup?

The foregoing was posted by IP editor 74.195.249.175 on 14 October 2008. It took a long time, but I have posted a Tulsa Tribune article today.--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:58, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
