Biased article

It seems to me that this article needs to be reformulated in a more neutral terminology to better reflect the controversial nature of Andrew Morton's work and should include reference to the frequent negative media coverage he received. Language in the article is strongly biased in favor of Mr. Morton. Terminology like "celebrated as a biographer" and "He achieved even greater prominence" makes it appear that Mr. Morton is widely admired as a writer/journalist. This corresponds pretty starkly with his BBC profile ("SPECIALISM: Female misery", "loathsome creep", etc.)rdbusser (talk) 01:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There needs to be considerable work on this article. It was full of unsourced claims, which I've now removed. See WP:BLP. garik (talk) 14:55, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why selected for the Diana biog?

It should explain how he came to be offered this big opportunity. Apparently they wanted it to be someone not already well-known. Valetude (talk) 19:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
