Talk:Edward Hunter (journalist)

Untitled

This article is warranted by the fact that Hunter popularized the term "brainwashing" in American English in the 1950s. It also is worthy of inclusion because of his life as an instance of journalists moonlighting as intelligence agents (or, depending on one's POV, intelligence operatives moonlighting as journalists).

Hunter testified before the House Un-American Affairs Committee in the 1950s. He is also significant as the collector of a large number of Chinese "comic" books from the late 1940s and early 1950s, comics which were geared toward brainwashing a largely illiterate population; thus this article will provide some background for several existing articles on brainwashing, propaganda, mass manipulation, and Project Mockingbird.

Reliable sources

Are there no sources more reliable than this guy's own testimony before HUAC? --Orange Mike | Talk 19:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

The search for better sources continues ... is this the reason for the NPOV tag? SlavicatAJE (talk) 22:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Yup. NPOV and HUAC just don't go together well. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:41, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
