Mark Hyman is truly a disgrace to the profession of journalism. He attack the "mainstream media" of being biased but he himself doesn't make any attempt to be fair. August 23, 2005

I don't think he claims to be fair. Also, I don't believe that the article here is 'neutral' so someone should fix it. 10 Apr 06.

[edit] POV-check

Although I don't agree with Mr. Hyman's bias, I do believe that this article needs to be cleaned up to conform to Wikipedia's NPOV policy. Examples in the article include subjectively labelling his performance as "poor journalism", accusations of "false claims" where simply stating them as "claims" would be preferable, and references to "true" studies (statistics can not verify truthfulness, only describe possible trends). -- Imesj 15:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

It'll be very difficult to remove POV as he makes Rush Limbaugh seem liberal. 68.60.93.83 18:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Agree on the POV issue. I did some clean up to make the article more balanced. Using Media Matters as a citiation is ridiculous in this case as they are clearly opposed to Hyman and should not serve as a source of information for this content.

I've only one question for the person responsible for this article: does he like it when you swallow?
