Psychotherapy
editThe Wikipedia Article policies are clear, statements need to be: Neutral point of view No original research Verifiability
Mr. Stern's comments about being in Psychotherapy fails all three. The text "He started seeing a psychotherapist" and "he has since toned down his show, crediting years in psychotherapy for his evolution" should be removed. Other than Mr. Stern saying this there is no proof. 96.236.44.65 (talk) 04:03, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
Infobox parameter "political party"
editShould this be used in this article? Hes not a politican or a political commentator --FMSky (talk) 06:32, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- I agree. His "candidacy" for NY Governor in 1994 was a transitory publicity stunt (despite his protestations) and he ended up withdrawing his "candidacy."
- He is, if anything, a Democrat, since in the last 30 years all he has done is uniformly support Democratic candidates (ie, Hillary Clinton, Obama) and espouse Democratic tenets (recently saying "I'm woke as hell"). And never a Libertarian candidate.
- In fact, in the very citation given for support of his affiliation (p.232 of "Howard Stern: King of All Media"), Stern himself says: "I don't know what the hell a Libertarian is."
- Going by recent article, he never votes Libertarian:
- “I was never a Democrat,” Stern said. “I voted for tons of Republicans. But I really don’t think I could ever, ever vomit up a vote for a Republican again. I don’t think so.”[1]
- I would think any "Party Affiliation" should be removed entirely, since his party registration (if any) seems to not be documented. He's not a politician, he's a comedian/entertainer. For comparison, Brit Hume — ABC journalist, FOX anchor/opinion writer — is unambiguously Republican yet has no Party Affiliation for his wiki entry.
- It's rather unsettling, when googling "Howard Stern political party", that you authoritatively are answered: "Libertarian Party"-- all because of this one dubious Wikipedia factoid. Petzl (talk) 08:13, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- I vote this be removed Charger2 (talk) 02:46, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
excellent interviewer
editThis article could say more about the quality of Howard’s interviewing in recent decades. 73.72.206.144 (talk) 14:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Really? I always thought his interview skills often seem contrived. “Tell me more, I’m interested” isn’t a very evocative way of engaging a subject. MasNuisance (talk) 16:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
Remove “terrestrial radio” from various sections
editI know that’s how Stern refers to FCC regulated “radio” but that’s not how the majority of sources describe “radio”. If anything Sirius and XM should be described as “satellite radio” as that’s how most sources describe it. Remember, this article is for a wider audience than the show’s audience. Thoughts?

A section regarding Howard Stern controversies, his blackface, past cases of anti-black racism & anti-palestinian comments & heavy zionist support to the point of harrasing roger walters. please fix this or this page is just zionist propoganda. howard stern on 911 declared “we need to bomb the hell out of them” blaming hamas for the attacks when mossad assets have been found more responsible 2600:100F:B12D:8C0A:B8F6:CAFE:B1F4:6A76 (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 06:50, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
