Bias
editSeems biased:
In the photographs, the two men are obviously dressed for very deep water; their clothing indicates what they think of the flood.
&, this article does not have any actual biography.
With this effort to attack her, one might think that she were Jarosław Kaczyński, Lech Aleksander Kaczyński, or Theodore Kaczynski Kaczyński.
"exposetheleft" is an assumption that rightwing General Electric has no influence on National Broadcasting Company.
So much of wiki is weaklypedia.

- Biased, yes, but fundamentally accurate. I've cleaned up the article, and removed the bias, citing real news sources rather than political blogs. However, Hopiakuta, you're really failing to be clear in what you were trying to critisize. "exposetheleft is an assumption that rightwing General Electric has no influence on National Broadcasting Company." isn't at at clear. Still, I've cleaned up the article, and enough said. -Harmil 12:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Yet no [actual] biography!!!!
No mention of how the men are dressed!!!!
Nominal improvement.

There is bias evident here. The only outlets that accused kosinski of doing anything underhanded were CONSERVATIVE BLOGS. They created the "controversy," which in intelligent eyes was simply doing a story from a place where people put their boats INTO the water, as opposed to the deep, swift, and dangerous portion.
Why such attacks? Could it be, perhaps, jealous or ultra-conservative hatred that won't let this sit at what it truly is?
- Ha! Me ultra conservative??? You have no idea what you are talking about. There is no need to be paranoid about some sort of conspiracy... This is a notable incident that someone is trying to cover up. Here is a direct qoute from the newspaper that list more than just bloggers making not of the incident.
- By then, the clip had made the rounds in e-mail forwards and on cable news shows. That afternoon, Don Imus went wild over the gaffe. Tucker Carlson picked it up later, and on Saturday the hosts of Fox and Friends discussed what they were calling the “Flood Faux Pas.”“If Michelle Kosinski’s canoe had sprung a leak on NBC’s ‘Today’ show Friday,” the Associated Press guffawed, “she didn’t have much to worry about.” On Monday, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart had his go...
- The ref is from a news outlet and is very clear that it was more than bloggers who mentioned the incident. Maybe conservative media took advantage of the situation but it became a notable incident because of it nonetheless. I have no credible refs that cite the incident was a fabrication created by a political media bias or I would add the info into the article as well. Also, if the incident was only notable for making its rounds on blogs and the internet, unfortunately it would still be notable to the point of adding the info to the article. --I already forgot 17:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
wrong. those outlets ACCUSED kosinski of nothing. someone is obviously obsessed...eerie. i think she has more to worry about than the lies perpetrated online about this incident! like, negativity-obsessed stalkers, who MUST live in something that happened TWO YEARS ago! I find this endlessly fascinating.
- Don't flatter yourself. It's called a watch list. A watch list is made up of articles that are on a user watch list to scan for vandalism and other edits. I picked up this article after cleaning up a few POV tags. Since then, someone has continuously deleted the notable incident without a clear explanation of why (other than some sort of conspiracy) so I continue to watch it. Please drop the "endless fascination" and move on or at least provide a valid argument on why the incident is not notable and is presented in a slanderous way. --I already forgot 15:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
An article by Conservative blog WorldNetDaily does NOT constitute a headline; the blog in itself holds bias, given the near-simultaneous report on bush staging. This undue weight, politicized, wil not be tolerated here. You have been warned, you have reverted this weight back far more than three times.
"Ironically, Katie Couric was promoting a segment about President Bush's apparently staged interview with soldiers in Iraq, later on in the program."
editI did not scribe this sentence; however, I am reviving it. It's a good one.
"Ironically, Katie Couric was promoting a segment about President Bush's apparently staged interview with soldiers in Iraq, later on in the program."
Unreliable source
editBased on various comments made in editing histories and here, it appears that some editors are concerned that WorldNetDaily is an unreliable source. Shsilver 19:04, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Removed misleading information
editI went to school with Ms. Kosinski, and her valedictory speech was not your usual "speech." It was a sort of off-the-cuff, sarcastic and very much joking address that made fun of the fact that her class was considered "one of the worst at Holy Cross" due to behavioral issues, people not graduating, partying, etc. She at one point jokingly said "yeah, because I am such a rebel." This was sarcastically referencing the fact that she received straight A marks, consistently. Everyone laughed, and the speech was extremely well-received as something unique and different than they expected. Even parents enjoyed it.
The article in the local paper, however, seemed to have missed the joke. The article said "Kosinski, who described herself as a rebel," clearly not comprehending the sarcasm!
It also made some reference to "like," and "um," not apparently realizing the laid-back, joking nature of this address. Kosinski's brand of humor is extremely wry, as evidenced frequently on television.
Some of us actually called the paper to complain about its reporter "not getting it" and writing an article about an event at which they didn't even seem to have been present. They just, somehow, didn't get it. But the newspaper never responded.
For this reason, I removed that shoddy reference, from a tiny newspaper that itself is considered to be an irresponsible joke. At least back than, it was!
Didnt she get caught staging news reports?
editIsnt she known for staging floods and stuff?--Inayity (talk) 00:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
