The 'TV debut' bit looks strange? it says 2005, but then the 11 o clock show is listed as something he worked on, which i don't think has been on for 5-10 years. 213.48.1.41

He didn't appear on HIGNFY before 2007 either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.53.21 (talk) 22:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] category: antisemitism

Doesn't seem v impartial. A journalist can trash someone's reputation motivated by who knows what, but can an encyclopaedia? Hunter has a reputation for being fair-minded; see his comments about the (latest) Big Brother (UK) 'racism' row. Johann Hari presumably finds offensive Hunter's 'gay jokes' but there isn't a WP section for that. In any case, it's just one person's opinion unbalancing the article atm. Gratuitously, imo.Hakluyt bean (talk) 23:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

The label is not a major controversy, he just happens to have been accused of antisemitism - as part of his act, he's been accused of just about everything. The tag is not just for famous anti semites who have had political influence, someone who has been accused of it publicly can be 'qualified'. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 20:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure some hacks have said lots of things about Tony Blair, that doesn't mean he should be in a category for each of them.--212.159.16.241 (talk) 21:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

It's gratuitous and partial and poorly substantiated, but I guess there's no point talking about it right now. I'm removing the category. Anyone who wants to re-insert it please explain why. But I should warn you that if you get my back up I might accuse you of being anti-semitic and I guess (as that simple statement would be the only criterion) you will forever be in that category yourself. I'll keep a list on my Talk Page :o Hakluyt bean (talk) 04:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
