Ms. Cutter told ABC News on 22 November 2008 that she was distraught that she was overlooked for the job of White House Communications Director. Ms. Cutter said she believed she was "snubbed" because of her controversial and generally derided handling of the Al Gore election and recount in 2000.

Reminder on NPOV

Language should be neutral and respectful of all living politically active figures. I agree, there should be a better photo. Anybody got one, or can anybody get one? KSRolph (talk) 18:57, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Bias in Obama 2012 election campaign section

The section on Obama's 2012 campaign strays in bias, initially to the left then to the right. I don't see how an entire section is needed on this election, and the entire section should be rewritten more neutrally and placed as a paragraph in the Biography section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.91.224.111 (talk) 09:47, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Bias in editing

The user RedPenofDoom is inappropriately and selectively editing out properly sourced content. Have fwd'd this issue for resolution. Atxav8r (talk) 18:17, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Watch out for the boomerang. Meters (talk) 18:25, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

" I have a source" is not a valid excuse for cherry-picking content from the source and presenting it in an POV manner. for one thing the NYT piece is not an "expose" it is a standard NYT profile piece, and trying to mischaracterize it the article is inappropriate. but even if it were an "expose" that would essentially discredit its use in a BLP context. The piece itself covers a lot of ground about the subject, but Atxav8r you have been determined to ONLY select the "worst" aspects and non-encyclopedic parts and then present them in worst possible light. completely inappropriate. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:53, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Where has the issue been forwarded to? I have not been able to find it on any notice board. Meters (talk) 20:08, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Precision Strategies

as a founder of Precision and their work for the Clinton Campaign, should that be mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.51.236.225 (talk) 01:47, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Picture

Can anyone put a more flattering picture of her? She is an attractive lady --Camilo Sanchez (talk) 03:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

What exactly is unflattering about it? 71.146.146.193 (talk) 05:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm just curious as to the reason why she was in the Situation Room. I thought that room was generally for national security and defense matters. While Ms. Cutter is obviously an intelligent and shrewd woman, I don't think she has extensive foreign policy and/or national security experience. 74.69.121.132 (talk) 19:36, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

@Camilo Sanchez:

Agree with your request, however I have a conflict to edit myself. So, I'd like to submit an edit request to update the photo with this one, which was provided by the photographer. PB Precision (talk) 13:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Photo

I would like to propose an edit to replace the main photo with this one, which was provided by the photographer. PB Precision (talk) 20:29, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Career update

Hi editors, my name is Christian and I work for Precision Strategies. I was hoping to make some updates to the article that I think will improve the sourcing and the article's accuracy. I wanted to start in the career section as I think I can help clarify the timeline of Stephanie's early career. I think something like the following helps clarify how these roles fit together and uses reliable sourcing.

Cutter began her career working as a junior aide to New York Governor Mario Cuomo prior to joining Bill Clinton's 1992 election campaign. She worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and the Clinton administration, eventually becoming White House deputy communications director. Cutter worked to repair Clinton's image following his impeachment.

Please let me know what you think! I won't make any changes myself due to conflict of interest. Thanks in advance for your help! PrecisionChristian (talk) 13:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Done and to @PrecisionChristian: thank you for avoiding editing the article via the COI policy. Cheers! Fakescientist8000 19:38, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@Fakescientist8000:, thank you so much for the help! I really appreciate it! I will always try to follow the COI rules closely. PrecisionChristian (talk) 18:37, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Career subsection headers

Hi editors, Christian here again. I was thinking the career section could benefit from some subheadings to help separate the career progression. Something like Early career which encompasses Cutter's work through her time with Ted Kennedy, Obama campaigns and administration for 2008-2012 working on the Obama campaigns and in the White House, and Media and consulting for 2013 onward for her work in various media outlets and with Precision Strategies. I have some additional content I'd like to suggest for those subsections as well and I think it will make it easier to talk about where the changes I hope to make are. Please let me know what you think! @Fakescientist8000:, would you have any interest in reviewing this request as well? I'd really appreciate it! I won't make any edits due to my conflict of interest. Thanks in advance for the help! PrecisionChristian (talk) 18:37, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I'd say that regarding subheadings (which seem to be minor edits that don't affect the article's neutrality) could be an exception to the COI policies, so if you'd like to add those in, you may. Otherwise, message me on my talk for what you want added to the article. @PrecisionChristian Cheers! Fakescientist8000 16:00, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

@Fakescientist8000:, just to be extra sensitive to the COI process, I prefer not to make any edits directly to the article. And for the sake of transparency, I'll keep posting requests on the article Talk page, but I have no problem going to your user Talk page too when I post a new request. I really appreciate your willingness to review these requests. PrecisionChristian (talk) 20:49, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Consulting work update

Hi editors, I had another request. I was hoping to add some content to what I would propose to be the Consulting and media subsection. This content adds additional details about Cutter's consulting work while maintaining a neutral tone. I think something like the following would be a good addition about her work with Precision Strategies:

Cutter co-founded Precision Strategies with Jennifer O'Malley Dillon and Teddy Goff in 2013. The consulting firm has worked with a variety of political and private clients, including Justin Trudeau, March for Our Lives, and General Electric. Cutter was the Chief Program Executive for the 2020 Democratic National Convention, held for the first time as a virtual event rather than an in-person gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following year, Cutter and Ricky Kirshner served as executive producers of President Joe Biden's inauguration. Part of the inauguration, Celebrating America, earned Cutter and Kirshner a nomination for the Outstanding Live Variety Special award at the 73rd Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

References

I did my best to use only top-tier reliable secondary sources, though I did add one primary source, the Emmy nominee list, just for some additional context.

I think this content is a neutral expansion of content that is partially already in the article. It also adds some new material that helps give a fuller picture of Cutter's work with Precision. Please let me know what you think! I am open to suggestions and changes on this. As always, I won't make any changes myself due to my COI. PrecisionChristian (talk) 15:04, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@Fakescientist8000: thanks for the quick turnaround! That was great! I was wondering, could you also remove the following sentences? They've been made redundant by that addition:

• Besides her role at CNN Cutter founded Precision Strategies, where she is a partner. Precision Strategies is a strategic consulting firm based in Washington, D.C. and New York City. Cutter started the firm with three veterans that worked for the Obama 2012 campaign team.
• Cutter served as the Program Executive for the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

Thanks so much for your help! PrecisionChristian (talk) 20:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@Tomcat4680:, I saw you added the archive, did you have any interest in reviewing this request? Totally cool if not, just want to double check before I reach out to others. Please let me know! PrecisionChristian (talk) 17:54, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Obama work request

Hi editors, Christian here with another request. I was hoping to replace the paragraph beginning "In June 2008 Cutter was appointed Chief of Staff" with the following:

Cutter joined Barack Obama's first presidential campaign in 2008 as a senior advisor to Barack Obama and as the chief of staff to Michelle Obama. Cutter has been credited with helping the campaign receive an endorsement from Kennedy and improving Michelle Obama's public reputation during the campaign. Cutter became a trusted aide to both Obamas and in 2009 was named one of the "50 Most Powerful People in D.C." by GQ.

I think this helps make the language more encyclopedic and offers some additional details about Cutter's early work with the Obama campaign (she didn't just work for Michelle Obama at first) and will set up future requests. I will have some other requests in the future to re-add Cutter's work on the Let's Move! campaign. If you'd like to see what I have in mind, I had uploaded a draft a while ago and made a diff with the current article so you can see what changes I've suggested. I'm open to any alternatives you may have for wording and as always I won't make any edits myself due to my conflict of interest. Thanks in advance for your help! PrecisionChristian (talk) 15:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

I have made the suggested edit request but don’t necessarily agree it is written in an entirely encyclopedic way. Interested editors are encouraged to review the new language and offer suggestions or additional edits to refine the language. I have closed the edit request as it has now been answered in it’s entirety. Go4thProsper (talk) 00:13, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
