I have removed this section - Breitbart is not by any standards a reliable source, but rather a biased advocacy group. Furthermore, the allegations are disputed by Klein himself. ThatOtherMike ( talk) 12:55, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Breitbart is a lot more reliable than Klein. 98.175.27.173 ( talk) 20:19, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
To retain this article, please:
Find biographical information from unbiased source. Note that as a biography of a living person, all facts must be cited.
Establish relevance and noteriety.
Which sentences do people think need citations. Also I'm aware about the distaste for citing blogs but should we for blog-specific stuff / biographical things? Makgraf 22:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
should it be mentioned that he is center-left?

"This often leads to me, as a moderate democrat, defending the right against a 25 person onslaught" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.62.95.59 ( talk) 02:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC).
Whatever his political stripe, a discussion of it in some detail is warranted. This is a systemic problem with Wikipedia. The political orientation of political figures is often omitted or at least given short shrift. --- Dagme ( talk) 17:28, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
his bio should also include his religin as he is jewish----
How did the preceding ignorant comment get on this page without attribution? Does the writer mean that the bio's of all Jews should include their religion? Christians too? --- Dagme ( talk) 17:28, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Additionally, the article says:
"Klein is a middle child,[3] raised in a Jewish family. Religiously, he now identifies as an agnostic.[4] His father is a math professor, his mother an artist.[3]"
What more does the above troll want? --- Dagme ( talk) 17:36, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
This private website/forum/mailing list he created has been getting a bit of attention over the last week. Here's an article about it: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20086.html . I don't think it has yet risen to the level of notability that requires it being mentioned in the article, but it's something to keep an eye on. Lord of the Ping ( talk) 17:41, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
The existing description of the recent dispute between Ezra Klein and Charles Lane of the WaPo looks awfully full of POV to me. It omits the premises of Klein's original criticism of Lieberman and oversimplifies it in a way sympathetic with his critics. I've elaborated in my recent edit as so:
In December 2009, Klein wrote an article in the Washington Post that because Senator Joe Lieberman was motivated to oppose health care legislation in part out of resentment at liberals for being defeated in the 2006 Connecticut Democratic Primary, it meant that Lieberman was "willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score."
This is much clearer, but the first sentence feels bulky and awkward to me. If someone else wants to clean it up, feel free. Amezuki ( talk) 23:56, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I just removed it. Talk of a spat between two bloggers really doesn't warrant mention. People will have forgotten about this episode in a couple weeks. Jaboles ( talk) 05:47, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
The Daily Caller has published exchanges on JournoList regarding the shaping of press coverage over the relationship between Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright which reveals the names of many more JournoList members, including Richard Kim, Spencer Ackerman, Michael Tomasky, Thomas Schaller, Jonathan Stein, Jared Bernstein, Holly Yeager, Joe Conason, David Greenberg, David Roberts, Todd Gitlin, Chris Hayes, Katha Pollitt, Mark Schmitt, and Kevin Drum. Also, writing on his blog FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver identified himself as a former Journolist member on June 27 and again on July 21. ~Mack2~ ( talk) 14:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm wondering if there is getting to be enough material, including the David Weigel stuff, to split "JournoList" off into its own article. Kelly hi! 06:11, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Looks like biggovernment.com will be providing more material to fill out a separate entry on Journolist. The listserv was a brilliant idea and congrats to Klein on his biggest story yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.171.0.143 ( talk) 15:13, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Even mentioning this non-notable "event", let alone devoting an entire section to it, smacks of WP:RECENTISM. 75.76.213.106 ( talk) 07:59, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello! On behalf of Vox Media, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I'd like to propose some corrections and updates to this Wikipedia article for community review. There are 5 parts to this request, which should not take long to review, but I'm happy to address them one at a time if editors prefer. Following are the suggested edits:
1. Currently, the last sentence of the introduction reads: "In January 2014, Klein left The Washington Post, and now works for Vox Media as editor-at-large for their news website, Vox." The lead fails to communicate that Klein actually co-founded the website, which greatly contributes to his notability. I propose extending the sentence to properly credit him and his colleagues by changing the sentence to "In January 2014, Klein left The Washington Post, and now works for Vox Media as editor-at-large for their news website, Vox, which he founded along with Melissa Bell and Matthew Yglesias."
2. Secondly, I'd like to identify an error. The "Career" section says, "Klein announced he would be leaving the Washington Post in January 2014, with the intent to start a new media venture with several other veteran journalists. The new media venture was soon identified as Vox Media, which hired Klein and several associates to create a new politics site." This is factually inaccurate because
Vox Media was already in existence, and Ezra Klein, Melissa Bell, and Matthew Yglesias decided to partner with the company to launch the website. I propose replacing with the following text: "Klein announced he would be leaving The Washington Post in January 2014, with the intent to launch a new politics site for Vox Media, along with journalists Melissa Bell and Matthew Yglesias."
3. The New York Times has said Klein's interview of President Barack Obama in 2015 signified acceptance of digital news organizations like Vox and BuzzFeed News. I propose the following addition to the "Career" section: "Klein interviewed President
Barack Obama in 2015, which The New York Times said was indicative of a growing acceptance of digital news organizations."
[1] or similar. Following is markup for the New York Times source:
4. I'd like to propose an update to the end of the "Career" section, which currently reads: "In October 2015, Klein, along with Sarah Kliff and Matt Yglesias, launched The Weeds, a Vox podcast of detailed discussions on public policy." I propose adding mention of another (self-titled) podcast he hosts, as well as credit for serving as executive producer of Netflix series Explained: "He also hosts the podcast "The Ezra Klein Show".
[2] Klein is an
executive producer of the
Netflix series Explained, which debuted in 2018.
[3]" Other sources could be used to verify the claims, but if The Atlantic and NBC News are suitable, here's citation markup:
5. Finally, I propose correcting the "Personal life" section, which currently says, "Klein is married to Annie Lowrey, an economic policy reporter at The New York Times." This is no longer accurate. Lowrey now writes for The Atlantic, and has also worked for Slate and the Washington Independent, among other publications. I propose either describing her using her current role ("Klein is married to
Annie Lowrey, a politics and economic policy reporter for
The Atlantic.", per the introduction of her Wikipedia article) or using more general wording ("Klein is married to journalist
Annie Lowrey."); either way, an update is required.
My goal is to fix a couple errors and update the article a bit. I do not edit the main space directly, given my COI, and I'm seeking assistance from volunteer editors to review and implement these corrections and updates appropriately. Are any page watchers willing to take a look? I'm happy to address questions or concerns here or on my talk page. Thank you for any help in advance.

@ Shushugah: Another editor removed the "Personal life" section altogether. However, there are sources confirming Ezra Klein and Annie Lowrey are married, such as this one and this one. Do you mind updating the article appropriately? Perhaps the following:
