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

"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]

Ngo is not misleading STP43FAN (talk) 21:39, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He has done and I can't actually see that wording in the article anyway, so this is a pointless discussion. TarnishedPath^talk 22:27, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
