the Trials & Tribulations section is way too longedit

Bowden has been one of the best American journalists over the past 30 years, and his contribution has been massive. It doesn't seem appropriate to me for nearly a third of the article about him to be a rehashing of the grievances raised by the blogger at Trials & Tribulations, with 3 separate links to the blog posts. Sure, it's worth mentioning, but a line or two would do it. Poynter has an even-handed look at the dispute, and it's obvious that Bowden's failings were relatively minor: http://www.poynter.org/2012/vanity-fair-corrects-bowden-story-about-stephanie-lazarus-case/188704/
Yeah, it's incredibly one-sided and cites only the blog itself as a source. No third-party commentary whatsoever, which calls into question just how much weight it should be given. It is clearly non-neutral to me. 100.40.28.53 (talk) 06:19, 19 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
Well, it looks like it's been pared back, but now that it has been, it's even more transparently obvious that it's only source is an interested party. I would hope somebody would incorporate some of the Poynter material for balance.Theonemacduff (talk) 18:30, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
