Non-notable. Only mentioned by primary sources, his own website. Northwestgnome (talk) 14:45, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notable journalist, played notable role in Iran-Contra scandal. Chimeric Glider (talk) 17:17, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Polk Award winner and his Iran-contra reporting is acknowledged. Even if sources about him are slim there's enough to confirm major assertions and he he has sufficient recognition for an article. --Dhartung | Talk 19:16, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The New York Times story just barely mentions him, and that is more sourcing than the article has had so far. Northwestgnome (talk) 15:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Polk award is enough for me. His impact on Iran-Contra solidifies it. Definitely notable. Vickser (talk) 22:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He seems to be notable enough. However the article could use some work. Right now it is mainly a coatrack for his views. He left a successful career in mainstream journalism to edit a left-wing political blog. Steve Dufour (talk) 16:40, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
