Good on Sanger.
Well, at least he owned up to it.
Interesting last name...Margaret (sp?) Sanger, the abortionist, right?
The MSM operates the same way. Corrections with the MSM, however, should be easier.
NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Axios are Comcast
CNN is ATT
Both Comcast and ATT are federally licensed telecom providers. Not only do both control vital infrastructure, the two also control the dissemination of “news”. Both should be forced to pick a service: telecom or news media, but not both.
Wiki is very useful as long as the subject has no current political significance.
If it does, though, Wiki is always distorted or censored. The permanent bias being to the Left.
Exactly. Never should have allowed this in the first place.
Interesting how quickly it was corrupted.
And in future news, Sanger didn't kill himself.
Wikipedia will never be good with current events. It is not in its nature to do so. But anything to do with history over 50 years old, it is priceless.
Never Trust Wiki on anything slightly political. BUT: on non-controversial subjects its a great entry level resource.
You still have to be careful of vandalism. I was looking up something on rabbits and found out they can run up to 300 miles per hour.
hard left.
Anything to the right of a Moderate Democrat is alt right or Far right according to Wikipedia.

I suspect you might have to go a little further back. For instance, does Wiki mention that Margaret Sanger spoke at a KKK meeting, was for eugenics, and was openly anti-black?
..they can run up to 300 mph!
That sounds like a feature of Robots, not Rabbits.
Terminator Robots.
I noticed their Leftist bias 10 years ago and take anything written there with a grain of salt.
I’ve been banned from editing Wikipedia articles for a limited period without ever having tried to edit one once!
How did that happen, you ask? Easy. Articles and subsections now have an ‘edit’ symbol on the right side of the subhead line. Click on it, and you’ll be told that you can’t edit it unless you are logged in. I don’t have an account, so I never log in. But that icon is often where my finger lands when scrolling the article up or down. So it opens up and I close it. Do it enough times and, apparently, some algorithm alerts a moderator who judges whether you’re a nuisance or not. If you’re judged a nuisance, they ban you from editing for a period of time. My ban lifts at the end of July!
Give ‘em time. I know I’ve come across history articles that have been edited between times I reread them.
I depend on wiki only to identify plants.
That’s funny. I think some people go in to create a little humorous mischief from time to time.
During the recent ‘murder hornets’ craze, for example, the article for Asian hornets mentioned that scientists pitted individual specimens up against various insects. They won all contests except against one particular insect with a long latin name. Follow the link (still there!) and it’s some small meadow butterfly.
