But you give them hits and make them money and not all is true.
Wiki does not run ads.
All its operating income comes from contributions.
Because it does have a Leftist slant, I have never contributed money to it.
Without Wiki and Google, which is also Leftist, I would never post on Free Republic, because it would take hours to track down or confirm minor details.
After almost 60 years of reading political history and watching news reports, I know what facts look like, and I also know what speculation, hearsay, and propaganda look like.
If I am uncertain of the facts, I don't post or comment.
By the way, at least half of the news articles posted at Free Republic come from - or can be traced to - politically Left publications and news organizations.
