From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why this part in this article? :

"Criticism

The channel is seen by some observers and critics as boring, impersonal, lacking in context, and excessively neutral in tone.[3] AA Gill even said of it "who made it and who watches it? and in both cases why?""

Of sure everybody don't like this channel but there are also people who like the fact that this channel is neutral and impersonal for example. And who's AA Gill ? Everybody doesn't care what he say !

Good Wikipedia articles present various common views of the subject matter. This article is generally positive in tone, so it should also refer to documented criticism of the channel, which isn't uncommon. Check the articles on BBC World and CNN International; both include Criticism sections. The AA Gill reference shouldn't be here, but I'm putting the Criticism section back in. Please do not delete it again. WorldWide Update

As long as this section remains clear of weasel words, POV material, unsourced content and original research at all times, I indeed see no reason why it should be removed. I've one question however -- what exactly do you mean with 'generally positive in tone'? 84.192.119.2 13:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I agree with you. In fact, I was the first to mark the new additions to the section with "Citation needed" tags (and, since no citations were forthcoming, I welcome their deletion). When I wrote that the article was generally positive in tone, I was referring mostly to the following passage, which has also since been removed: "The channel is praised for what many consider to be its unbiased effort because of its voice over narration to accompany news footage instead of on-screen anchors, a No Comment segment, and its simplistic logo." I thought that if we were mentioning praise, we should should also devote some attention to common (and documented) criticism of the channel and its format.

[edit] RTE, founder or no?

RTE is listed as a founder, and later as one of those who joined SOCEMIE in 1997 along with the founders. Obviously a small rewrite or correction of this section is needed, but I don't have the information needed --garryq 10:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
