I have updated the basic facts regarding Paul Crouchs' career in broadcasting, and the network he founded. I have added credible neutral sources which verify statistics on the size of Trinity Broadcasting Network, awards, citations, and rating in the US as the 6th largest Broadcast Group. I have attempted to leave original content and only moved its location so that the paragraphs flowed in a logical fashion. In some places, the new information was more accurately cited, so old information that stated the same fact was replaced, but not restated in a way that took away from the original intent of the editor.

I mislabelled my last update as a "footnote", which it's not. Anyway, I added links to the LA Times article referred to in the body of the article, plus the TBN web site, so people can verify stuff. --rob 07:52, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

POV

I think this article has a lot of strong hints in it of bias. Because it focuses more on the allegations of the person rather than the actual person and what he does. Therefor I think this article should seriously be reconsidered and edited to have a more balanced reading. I would like to know more about his family and occupation, (without hints of bias). --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.111.129.113 (talkcontribs)

You're welcome to edit it yourself if you know of verifiable information about him. But as I said on the talk page for Jan Crouch, how do you sound neutral in an article about someone who is effectively a crook? -Locke Cole 20:29, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. The man's a crook, and it's not "bias" to call a snake oil salesman a snake oil salesman.

Prove it

Prove it.

There is more to him than one article, the allegations of which have not been verified as fact, but all you seem to focus on in your bias.

The man has done a lot of great things and won many awards. He has many notable, well written about accomplishments. I would write about them, but what's the sense with some of you deleting everything on Wikipedia every 5 seconds that you don't like, fact or not.

-Sonustar

He is also a liar. --66.218.18.250 20:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's a biased article

I would say the initial summary, though very short, is good, but needs to be bolstered with more detail in his broadcast history and what role he played in Christian broadcasting. The only supplementary information has to do with criticism and controversy, and the quotations are all of the most unflattering kind. He may be a snake-oil salesman, but to understand him we need to understand his appeal. He has had a huge following for a long time. Another possible connection to follow up on: is his son "Andrew Crouch" the Andy Crouch that is formerly of Re:generation quarterly, writes for Christianity Today occasionally, and now has a website called CultureMakers?


Interesting

This is biased, if you could see the houses they own in the Colleyville, TX area, you would wonder about the aleged spending habits. The houses they live in while in TX resemble mobile homes in some fashion, very run down. I agree, more of Paul's story needs to be here!

Pat Robertson and Paul Couch

Both of them are NOT Christians. They are typical show off Christians who relate to the culture of Islam. They lie, they are human no less, but they are public figures that are ruining the name of Christianity. They don't believe in Christianity, but they use it to get money and make people fall stupid at their feet. Billy Graham is a Christian, a great example for the world. Its time to throw these idiots and the Trinity Broadcasting Network off air forever. --66.218.18.250 20:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV tag

Please do not add tags without giving a detailed explanation for it. We don't let tags stay or bogus claims stay. Both are to be removed if the claims/tags aren't without reason. Arbustoo 23:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
