Want a place where you can gain a full understanding of any topic, from any perspective? Then Wikipedia is not the place for you.

The editors who can’t seem to prevent the California GOP from being listed as Nazis on their platform have decided that Breitbart can’t be used as a source or reference.

One editor wrote, “I think that Breitbart is not a reliable source. It’s my view that we should not source anything to Breitbart other than strictly factual and uncontroversial facts about Breitbart on the articles related to Breitbart and its people.”

In a post announcing the change, Wikipedia administrator Fish+Karate (whose fondness for ichthyology and martial arts make this admin very trustworthy indeed) noted that “There is a very clear consensus here that yes, Breitbart should be deprecated in the same way as the Daily Mail.”

That’s the true villainy, the SPLC-inspired pigeonholing.

Of late though, they’ve been undermining their own power. The momentum has to be kept up so that they have no legs underneath them.

Who cares

Wikipedia is one of the most popular and visited websites in the world. The fact they are banning conservatives should concern people.

Note there is an alternative run by conservatives and independent thinkers - a clone of Wikipedia and kept properly updated
