	== Alt-right ==

	Milo has disavowed being a part of the alt-right movement on several occasions, as have most of the prominent right-wing pundits once associated with it. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 18:07, 28 September 2021 (UTC)</small>

	== "Far right" ==

	Many right-leaning people like Milo are constantly labelled as "far right" on Misplaced Pages. Nazism is far right; Milo is not far right.

	I know Misplaced Pages lacks the academic rigour of normal Encyclopedias, but it does seem to have become a bastion of left-leaning contributors.

	== List of Milo's books and Penn State appearance ==
	Hi, I was hoping to add a list of books that Milo has published with the year and ISBNs as well as a sentence about his latest Penn State appearance. The second reference says that 10,000 people signed a petition to stop Milo. This was not a minor event. Here are some examples of Penn State coverage:

	I added one sentence about the Penn State event, but it was swiftly deleted. The list of books was also deleted. I would hope to see these basic facts included in the article.

Is Vice magazine a reliable source?

I mean, I have found Vice to be useful with some of its stories and not useful with others. Maybe a better source could be found regarding his anti-feminist views and so forth... such a source shouldn't be difficult to find.--Phil of rel (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

COVID-19/Newsweek

@X-Editor: I see you've re-added the information about Yiannopoulos having COVID-19, which is still only sourced to Newsweek. I removed this yesterday with a summary mentioning WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NEWSWEEK: . I have concerns about using that Newsweek article as a source, namely the apparent lack of fact-checking that went into an article reporting that he "had a 93-degree fever". GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:09, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

I'd be fine with waiting for another source to cover this story. X-Editor (talk) 20:20, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

I'd prefer that plan of action. Would you self-revert? Firefangledfeathers (talk) 20:31, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

I removed it just now. XOR'easter (talk) 02:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm seeing another piece in PinkNews and nothing else so far. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 02:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Milo's alleged covid situation is questionable, shady; he is a attention craving provocateur and cannot be taken seriously. "Pink" is gossip blog. He lied many times in order to become a headline news even in gossip blogs. (His whole life is a mess, especially his alleged marriage and "new" celibate life as a devout Catholic and "TruNews" contributor.) Moelscene (talk) 06:20, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
