I know that Wiki is liberally biased when it comes to political profiles and now, at least, I have an idea why.

Also removed, according to the Wikinews account, was "a paragraph regarding a conflict of interest debate from 1997 when Mr. Blum had invested millions of dollars in Chinese businesses when Ms. Feinstein was campaigning in the Senate to lift trade sanctions against the country. Mr. Blum later announced he would donate all profits from his Chinese investments to charity."

How about the fact that her husband changed his name..? A man that does that is...very...shadey.

I wonder if under Al Gore it lists him as the inventor of the internet?
Or Bill Clinton as the first black president?
ROFL!

The internet is flat-out killing the Left. Everything they say is archived, so they can't flip-flop with any degree of success. Screwing around on Wikipedia is a bad idea; if that sort of thing gets deleted, the person who put it up will notice, and before you know it, you've got another MD4Bush situation on your hands.
I am going to march my butt over to Wikipedia right now and put up a reference to this story on Feinstein's article.

Read the whole article if ya can , folks, references to others in Congress are also interesting if not amusing, to say the least.

anybody can edit anything. I would be very surprised if our politicians weren't doing the same thing to their entries.

Gantman said that Feinstein's office policy has been changed to ensure that future changes to Feinstein's biography be made through an official notice to Wikipedia. Translation - Changes will stay as they are.
After biased edits were discovered on the biography of Rep. Martin Meehan, D-Mass., an investigation by the Wikipedia Foundation's Wikinews traced public edits from all House and Senate internet protocol addresses.
Translation - If you're going to whitewash a dems bio, do it from a non public computer.

The $16.5 million mansion in Pacific Heights was sort of a clue to the net worth methinks.
If this pic isn't in her Wikpedia entry, it needs to be.

Her Bio mentions nothing about her being a socialist, although it does mention that she is a baby killer.

Wiki history and science are also quite biased, depending on who wrote it. There is minimal vetting so it is no different than any other unvetted site on the web.

A former staff member "independently went on to Wikipedia to correct some material he felt was not appropriate," said Feinstein spokesman Howard Gantman. "The senator was not even aware of it." They edited out her childhood picture too:

Makes ya wonder if anything we hear or read nowadays, is real. I doubt the good guys would do this though.

Does the Al Gore bio mention his friend Rev. Phelps (D)?
After 1992 he tried to distance himself publicly.
