Talk:Bill Spadea

References

Could folks look at WP:RS and WP:CITE? "Here's a raw link to a YouTube account, dumped into the middle of an article" does not constitute providing verification of an assertion. Press releases do not constitute reliable sources, even if the reference was properly formatted; and raw links to search engine results do not meet WP:CITE. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

• There are a number of problems with the references on this article, as many of the references are either misleading or not permitted, such as YouTube references. It seems that is likely that the article's subject has also been a contributor to the article content... The fact that dates seem to have been removed make it even more problematic...Stevenmitchell (talk) 01:56, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Views on vaccinations

There are two reliable sources about Spadea's vaccine stance cited in the article:

• New York Times find it significant enough to mention in its article on a state bill: Among the radio personalities who opposed the bill was Bill Spadea, a Republican who supports President Trump and hosts a morning show on one of New Jersey’s largest radio stations. The bill being referred to in the article: New York lawmakers passed a bill ending all nonmedical exemptions to immunization

• The app.com article gives significant coverage to Spadea's stance on vaccines: Dr. Marc Feingold, a primary care doctor in Manalapan, has been spending plenty of time with his patients in recent weeks trying to debunk misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine, falsehoods heard everywhere from Facebook and the TV networks to New Jersey radio, including Bill Spadea's popular New Jersey morning-drive talk show. And much of the rest of that article is about Spadea.

In sources not currently cited in the article:

• A USA Today article (reprinted in Asbury Park Press) about a potential lawsuit against Spadea describes him as a well-known conservative media personality with some controversial opinions, including those on vaccines.[1]
• Politico calls out his vaccination stance.[2]
• Newsday, writing about George Santos and a gala, mentions vaccine misinformation in conjunction with the mention of Spadea.[3]

When it has become a common descriptor in reliable sources, the content is WP:DUE for inclusion in the article. Schazjmd (talk) 18:51, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
