Upon learning that the station had fallen far behind in delivering premiums from October’s drive because it couldn’t afford to pay for them, Hennelly pulled Null’s controversial show from the air to prevent the Federal Communications Commission from charging WBAI with fraud. https://www.politico.com/media/story/2014/02/the-crisis-at-wbai-001715/

Biography it is not

A biography should start with where the person was born, not an opinionated judgment like "Null is hostile to many facets of mainstream medicine..." 98.109.205.77 (talk) 17:09, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why?Slatersteven (talk) 17:18, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The introduction should summarize the article. The current intro does that well. That said, the biography section could be expanded with more information on his early life, if that can be sourced. —C.Fred (talk) 18:17, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to tack on to an old discussion here, but IP has a point. The "biography" section actually contains little information that we usually find in biography sections, such as where and when he was born and any notable aspects of his personal life. It could be re-titled something like "career and advocacy", and perhaps the two paragraphs on his academic credentials could be its own subsection. It's a very long and kind of rambling section as it is. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:32, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The existing article is a disgrace full of personal animosity and vitriol

This is a character assassination piece from one of the many people who are threatened by alternative medicine for any number or reasons. Hard to believe Wikipedia allows such nonsense to be passed off as serious. The guy is a doctor, journalist, advocate, open to alternative theories. Why on earth does he trigger some people so much, I can't imagine any of his critics actually listened to what he preached, rather than just reflexively got riled up on fury.
