Wall Space (MacKinnon Formerly of CNN, now works for Soros)
On the media ^ | January 8th | Bob Garfield

Posted on 01/22/2010 4:18:55 AM PST by Halfmanhalfamazing

For a few hours on Monday the strict controls that China exerts over domestic access to the internet – known as ‘the great firewall’- disappeared. Chinese internet users could twitter, Facebook, read about Tibet - you name it. But was it a harbinger or a glitch? Chinese media expert Rebecca Mackinnon explains the rules and misconceptions that surround China’s internet.

This is typical media liberalism. SHe is held up as a 'media expert', later in the article as a 'former journalist'. They do honestly mention she works for the open society institute, however. But that's it.

That's the same one alright.

Progressivism is a cancer and we need to root it out wherever it's found. These people are like cockroaches: they prefer to scurry around in the dark and scatter when the light shines upon them.

I also find it amusing that Wikipedia scrubs the fact that she works for the open society institute.

is it any difference, calling for a drone attack on Osama bin Ladin and calling for one on our other national enemy, George Soros????

I think not.

Ah hah! No wonder wikipedia doesn’t mention it. She sits on the wikimedia board.

========The Advisory Board of the Wikimedia Foundation was approved in 2006, and formed at the start of 2007.

The Advisory Board is an international network of experts who have agreed to give the Foundation meaningful help on a regular basis in many different areas, including law, organizational development, technology, policy, and outreach. Their abilities, experience, and knowledge were selected for how they complement a particular Foundation project, or the organization as a whole.============

-—————The Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual content, and to providing the full content of these wiki-based projects to the public free of charge. The Wikimedia Foundation operates some of the largest collaboratively edited reference projects in the world, including Wikipedia, the fourth most visited website in the world. ———————

Wikimedia operates wikipedia. In otherwords, wikipedia is a branch of the soros propaganda network.

Google will net you a lot of info if you just sit there and work it for a bit.

LOL

I dunno............

He definately has his fingers in everything it seems. He’s even got this woman wormed into the wikipedia board.

No wonder it’s so easy for leftists to scrub the wiki.

And I still can’t help but laugh at the incestuous relationship that left wing media(CNN) have with the hard left.

Sometimes I honestly wonder which one is the bigger enemy of America, bin Laden or the bastard Soros.

Listening to NPR has taught me a lot, and nearly all of it has been completely the opposite of what NPR is peddling.

I posted this not too long ago:

Tracking Left wing funding of NPR
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2419777/posts

Which is something I’m working up to....... working on building upon when i find the spare time. But now after seeing this wikipedia thing here I may start looking into that too. If for no other reason that there doesn’t yet seem to be anybody else doing it.

Perhaps we can get a ball rolling if we dig enough stuff up and connect enough dots.
