Talk:Kirsten Powers

Vandalism and POV

Several conservative contributors have continually vandalized this article to insert their own opinions. The statement that Powers is "very left-wing" is a POV statement. The statement that the Fairness Doctrine "impedes free speech" is a POV statement. I will continue to delete these statements until these users are put on probation or the article is locked down, but this nonsense has to stop. Partisan hackery should not be allowed on wikipedia.

 Not only is calling her very left-wing a POV statement but its an absurd one.  

Frankly, Kirsten Powers is best known for being a very conservative/centrist pundit who is largely disliked by the left, but is represented as a liberal on conservative talk shows. That's pretty much the main thing to know about her

Krtisten Powers is a liberal. She is the liberal component to O'rielly factor Mondays with Kristen and Micchelle. Malkin being the conservative. Being rational like Colmes Juan Williams or Ellis Hannigan does not make you a moderate it makes you coherant.Kirin4 15:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Of course, Powers is not a conservative. She works for the dependably liberal USA Today, and she is on Fox News to provide the liberal viewpoint (which she does). The real question is how she came to believe her opinions were important, but the same question is begged whenever some pundit comes on TV and seeks to wax profound. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.20.187 (talk) 00:16, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

This is a pretty sanitized version of Kirsten Powers' bio. She is primarily known for her wild swings from liberal to conservative/Christian, then back again to an increasingly hard left position, apologizing for much if not most of her work during her Fox contributor days. She also is a hard core 'anecdotal fallacy' type in that, if you watch her, at least every other debate she's in, she closes it out with a 'personal experience' story, often with a victimhood angle, that shuts down her interlocutor(s). That type of thing is ubiquitous in punditry, but Kirsten Powers raised it to an art form; it's kind of her whole thing. I'm not sure how to capture that in an article without coming across as POV or overly crass, but it's honestly what she is 'remarkable' for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.252.4.23 (talk) 13:03, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
