This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Ned Simons (2015-10-15). "Richard Burgon's Wikipedia Edited After 'P*sspoor' Channel 4 Interview". Huffington Post UK. And his appearance on Channel 4 News did not go too well. It led to someone editing his Wikipedia page to describe the encounter with Cathy Newman as "pisspoor".

Controversial interview

Richard Burgon's interview was controversial, as was shown in the way it was reported in the references cited in the article. To describe it as "controversy" is a perfectly NPOV position to take. I guess we could simply label the section "Channel 4 interview" but he may well have done more than one of these. It is certainly not accurate to list it in his participation in the leadership campaign as it is not related to the leadership campaign. FOARP (talk) 15:37, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
