I just noticed this after another freeper commented that the Wikipedia article on memogate was generally favorable to free republic yesterday.
Literally a few moments after the post, some leftist wacko essentially rewrote the entire Wikipedia article on memogate using talking points that supposedly "refute" each evidence item that shows they were forgeries. He added a bunch of citations to TANG-Bush conspiracy sites and the site he used the most (12 times) was www.truthandduty.com.
In case you don't know www.truthandduty.com is Mary Mapes' website pushing her new book.
Here's the link of all the changes that were made - it's virtually a complete overhaul of the article that makes it look like the forgeries were genuine as Mapes still contends.

Wikipedia is useless as a reference for anything that involves politics.
bump
well, then some FReeper better set the facts straight
Great home page you have there, Paleo Conservative. That optical illusion is cool (among the many other excellent pics there).
He literally claims there that his mother in law "starve to death because of religious fanatics & right-wing politicians"
useless for anything else as well. It's a liberal propaganda.
Ping for later
There. That's much better.
Any "historical reference" with liberal influence is useless.
All of the articles show the basic dangers and limitations of material Wikipedia contains. Anyone can edit and we must trust the editors to clean up mistakes or falsifications if we are to believe the content. Wikipedia should never be used as a sole source.
Adding an active link...

We "could" always FReep them with facts.
CNN, LA Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, USA Today, and NY Times have all pushed hoaxes as "news".
NONE of them should be cited as primary references either.
When will this partisan crap be dropped from school libraries? Or at least label it as propaganda akin to Pravda and the Daily Worker.
Any schools subscribe to The Weekly World News?
If that seems ridiculous, consider that the Globe was the first paper struck in the anthrax attacks.
Wakipedia is based on the retarded liberal belief that all mankind are born "good" and that the evil of mankind is a result of capitalism, religion (in the case of Islam that's true, but oddly, Liberals embrace it) and industral polution. If only mankind can revert to caveman like existance, than man well be good and at one with nature (but oddly, their vision of nature includes fags)
Someone HAS to revise that to state in the first paragraphs flatly that the actual hand signed and typed document has NEVER been produced.
Ergo there is no "genuine article" with which to prove the existence of the Hitler Diary, er "Bush National Air Guard Memo".
All of their smoke and mirrors about what "may" have been possible in the era is Bullzogby. Put up or STFU.
Goebbels could have used these lying brownshirts on his team.
Islam wants the masses living like cavemen too. The royals get billion dollar palaces.
There. That's better. :)
There, fixed part of it.
