This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Layne Radlauer (September 5, 2020). "Wikipedia Isn't Censoring Conservative Journalists". Misbar. Retrieved June 3, 2025. As far as insulting Ngo is concerned, the career section of his page once quoted a Rolling Stone article that referred to him as a "troll." The editors decided to omit that section.

Balancing Political Labels for Social Media Influencers on Wikipedia

I've noticed Wikipedia uses "right-wing social media influencer" six times (e.g., Andy Ngo, Maridhas Malaichamy), but "left-wing social media influencer" doesn't appear anywhere, despite figures like Hasan Piker or ContraPoints fitting the description. This feels like a subtle bias, inconsistent with Wikipedia's neutrality (WP:NPOV). I propose either removing "right-wing" from these labels or adding "left-wing" where verifiable (e.g., via reliable sources). Let's ensure fairness!

Hasan Piker and ContraPoints articles do say left-wing, whoever they are. O3000, Ret. (talk) 20:58, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Which is kind of hilarious since Contrapoints is widely seen, by her audience, as something of a centrist. Hasan Piker being identified as left-wing is broadly accurate. Simonm223 (talk) 21:56, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Go take your suggestions about changes to those other articles to the relevent talk pages. On this page, "right-wing social media influencer" is the consensus per numerous discussions. TarnishedPath^talk 21:57, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only because fascist-apologist grifter is considered a bit strong. Guy (help! - typo?) 23:34, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If I had my way we'd more prominently talk about his associations with far-right groups like patriot prayer, but that isn't going to fly. TarnishedPath^talk 01:16, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, for what it's worth. Simonm223 (talk) 01:27, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are far more right-wing influencers than left-wing ones. The Right controls the presidency, the Supreme Court, both houses of Congress and Fox News, while the Left has a handful of members of Congress. TFD (talk) 01:09, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article mention his lawsuit against the Guardian

[1] Doug Weller talk 18:04, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the article

"been accuse of misleading information" who hasn't, that is repeating an accusation and having no facts. THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF MISLEADING. 2600:100D:B039:2C13:E00E:400C:9A70:EC46 (talk) 21:30, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
