This:
"They were revealed as parents who neglected their children, spent far too much time on their computers, exhibited anti-social behavior, made their young son do enormous amounts of chores, etc."
Isn't just POV pushing, it's getting into libel territory. Mark K. Bilbo 01:54, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'll change "revealed" to "portrayed". Better? --Jason Gastrich 02:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- By the way, I proofread the entire article and fixed its poor grammar. Verting my entire contribution because of a word is awfully impolite.--Jason Gastrich 02:18, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- To use "portrayed" instead of "revealed" is still to inculcate a point-of-view that may or may not be shared by others whom viewed the program. How the couple was "portrayed" or "revealed" is a matter for the viewer to decide, and there's no good reason to single out this particular episode in the manner that it was. - WarriorScribe 02:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- By my reading the reversion was not due to the use of a single word. - WarriorScribe 02:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- All I did was state the facts. Something about Wife Swap's (possible) distortions should be mentioned; in some way, shape, or form. In the particular case I mentioned, I know the person who was on the show. I saw the show. I have evidence that he says the show was inaccurate. Did you see the show? --Jason Gastrich 02:27, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- You stated no "facts." You included a point-of-view that may or may not be shared by other viewers, whom may see them simply portrayed as a typical, "pretty normal", modern-day American family, as is clear by some of the comments in the thread on the subject at The Infidel Guy site.
