CBS interviewed Harris. Asked her a question and then spliced in a completely different answer.

Did CBS publish false or fabricated information?

Seems like an anti-trust investigation may be in order here.

It’s parent company Wikimedia is a 501(c)(3). They need to lose their charitable tax free status if they are overtly political in their activity.
A strong case can be made that they are.

And they don’t have the money to fight the federal government that needs to go after them now.

“What’s worse is that Wikipedia is not even hiding it.”

I totally disagree with this statement! The fact that they do not try to hide their bias allows people like this author to cite Wikipedia content to demonstrate the bias.

Ever since it’s inception Wikipedia has been unreliable, since those allowed to edit were already those on the left.

When I was taking seminary classes back in the late “90”s and early “00”s, my instructors refused to let anyone use Wikipedia as a source for term papers.

I have followed suit in that never will you ever see Wikipedia used as a source link of my information on anything I write that needs backup proof for facts.

Wikipedia was easy to find. However, I will avoid them going forward. The fact they are censoring sources is sufficient evidence to conclude their articles are biased.

Republicans buy shoes, too.

The Wrong Inaccurate Knowledge Illusions (WIKIs) in Wikipedia are not reliable.

Wiki is ok for getting an overview or quick background on subjects that aren’t remotely political or controversial. But that’s it.

Sounds like free election assistance. The FEC should prosecute

Wikipedia is pretty good for subjects that are non political. If the subject is political it is pure propaganda.

Well Wicki hasn’t exactly been a bastion of factual or unbiased information for a very long time. I don’t trust them for anything really important. All this means is that they will get that much less traffic.

I guess this means we can’t trust Wikipedia.

An older version of the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Sources lists (no conservative site is listed as reliable - as well as "Wikipedia is not a reliable source because open wikis are self-published sources"):
