Appeared on a Podcast?
[edit]I removed the passage below from the section on anti-vaccine conspiracies because it doesn’t seem to be relevant. Miller appeared on the show and was praised by Taibbi, but it’s unclear how this has anything to do with anti-vaccine conspiracies. In the interview he makes his case for why he thinks he’s been unfairly treated by NYU, but he doesn’t advocate for any such conspiracy in the interview. Taibbi’s compliments there IN NO WAY implied an endorsement of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.
“He has appeared on the Useful Idiots podcast and was praised by its host, Matt Taibbi.”[1][2]

- So is your point that it's in the wrong section? That's probably correct. BobFromBrockley (talk) 11:24, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- It was definitely in the wrong section, but I’m not sure why it’s in the article at all. Miller has done several interviews—esp. in the wake of the NYU scandal. Why is this one important enough to include in an encyclopedia article about him? We don’t list all his speeches and online videos. Does the Taibbi connection tell us anything useful about him? (Maybe it does; I’m really asking). Btw, I added Miller to the list of UI guests on the Matt Taibbi page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:803:8000:2FD0:FC6D:35CC:69DB:2DE6 (talk) 15:59, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- I retract my comment above. After reading the passage in its new context I see how it’s relevant. Matt Taibbi is a known for being critical of the [insert favorite adjective here] media, hence the connection to Miller’s work in media studies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:803:8000:2FD0:FC6D:35CC:69DB:2DE6 (talk) 16:13, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Criticism
[edit]Any criticism section should be written with NPOV, and preferably (IMO) with references to published criticism, rather than reader opinions. --mtz206 19:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- I personally would like to see a good criticism section. I could criticize his new 2004 elections book (as I work in that field). -- Joebeone (Talk) 16:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
