A fact from Ms. (magazine) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 June 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that American feminist magazine Ms. has not carried advertisements since 1989?

Magazine funded by C.I.A. ?

Gloria Steinem supposedly gave an interview stating that funding for Ms magazine came directly from the C.I.A. I'll try and get a good source for this soon.

Recent controversy re refusal of advertisement

The material under the heading "Rejection of Israel advertisement from American Jewish Congress" appears too long to be consistent with the overall balance in regard to the article's subject, as well as not being NPOV. In both explaining or defending the actions of Ms magazine it quotes only the Statement of Katherine Spillar, while quoting numerous critics at length. It omits the core element of Spillar's explanation of the magazine's actions. It is followed by a link to Jewish feminism, but there are no other links (remembering that this is a page about Ms Magazine in general). I'm going to try some editing here and hope I get a more NPOV. Cheers hamiltonstone (talk) 06:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Patricia Smith

Why is there no mention of the controversy over Ms. Magazine's hiring of Patricia Smith, a former black female columnist for the Boston who resigned in disgrace after it was learned that she had faked many of the stories in her columns? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bostoner (talk • contribs) 23:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

Is the name of the magazine "Ms." or "Ms. Magazine"?--Pink Bull 20:29, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
