You are a conservative, aren't you?

Which means I have a low tolerance for whining and phonies. A few days ago there was another post accusing Wiki of being lying, weaselly lefties.

Funny thing, I was just used it this morning to look up some info on Planned Parenthood. I found what I wanted and noted it also carried a lot of stuff on the group that the New York Times avoids mentioning.

Granted it did not include things you'd find on FR or a pro-life advocacy site, but I was more than satisfied with what they did provide.

There have been a LOT lately (I posted two as an example..).. I know a few that were even zotted because it was obviously bating and the posters kept calling for us to 'band together and censor' wikipedia..

Then you also apparently have a high tolerance for gratuitously insulting conservatives!

And I don't care what the Wikipedia Planned Parenthood article says right now. I didn't say it was biased and haven't looked. What I did say is that a particularly vile leftist named Chip Berlet is actively controlling and censoring his own article to make sure it doesn't contain anything negative about him. Doubt this?

Why don't you look at the last edit made to his article by one of Berlet's minions and supporters:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chip_Berlet&diff=40994035&oldid=40984644

You see that? One of Berlet's people wiped clean three sourced paragraphs quoting one of Berlet's kooky conspiracy articles - all after he posted a message saying he wanted it removed. In total that same set of paragraphs has been removed by a Berlet supporter THREE TIMES in 24 hours. They even removed it after a wikipedia Sys-Op tried to add it back.

I will presume that you included me in the post regarding my defining of wikipedia of being edited by people with agendas, you are correct. Both Conservatives and Liberals edit it with intent. There is nothing wrong with that, I just make sure that I am aware that anything I read there is fact checked. Which sounds like what you do. FReep On!
