Newsbusters ^ | July 14, 2020 | Alexander Hall

[Repeal 16-17]

A former Wikipedia editor blasted Wikipedia for not being neutral, and slammed the platform for a multi-year scorched-earth campaign against popular conservative talk radio host Mark Levin.

A massive exposé accusing Wikipedia of having biased editors was put out by Breitbart News. “Localemediamonitor” and “Snooganssnoogans,” according to Breitbart, have been allowed to run rampant on conservative Wikipedia entries. That included their jihad against Levin.

The Left is using Wikipedia to attack The Great One.

Someone should already author an entire book on this lefty controlled “knowledge based” monopoly.

I usually catch at least the first 1/2 to Hr of Mark’s program driving to the Lake each night, he is on fire and spot on.

When I was on college ten years ago, several of my instructors banned the use of Wikipedia as a source because it is so easily edited by anonymous people without research credentials or sources for their edits.

That should be the collegiate standard.

In political campaigns while the use of Social Electronic Formats are useful in presenting political positions. Relying solely on using those venues is a mistake because of their SEF content limitations and media bias .

Consideration of the use of reprinted material including handouts and flyers such as of articles in FR and the planning of area saturation distribution known as “blitzing” in the targeted area is essential of one wants to win.

I have become lukewarm for Levin because of his constant harangue against the South that borders on pathologic. He constantly misrepresents much of the Confederate heritage and boils it down to one issue without respect to the multitude of reasons the South wanted out. I have little sympathy on his tirade today about how the Jews are mistreated in history and yet he constantly attacks my Southern heritage. Once the left vilifies the Southerners they will turn on others without reason or facts as they have the South.

Wikipedia on the whole is becoming a left-wing site. It’s definitely not just about Levin. Leftists have realized since it is user created they can essentially push whatever propaganda they want. Conservatives could fight back, but we never seem to have the numbers. Wikipedia gets used all the time as if it is fact. I wish we’d start gathering the numbers to change things on the site (and yes, I have tried to do my part, but there’s only so much someone very much in the minority on Wikipedia can do).

This is nothing new but just business as usual against Levin and other conservatives. They are evil bastards.

Oddly Wikipedia is pretty good on facts if it has nothing to do with politics. They are particularly good with science. As it is not peer reviewed they do have errors in their science but it is not major and not much less than the official journals of science.

With Wikipedia if it is political one must ignore what they say. It is garbage.

[drop 50 and fire for effect]

Wikipedia has two uses, first as a quick reference for general, non-controversial information. Second, as a start point for identifying references for further research.

You need to know about Point Roberts, WA? Wikipedia can help.

You want to understand the arguments for and against Keynesian economics? Wikipedia is a start point at best, but must be used with caution.

A massive exposé accusing Wikipedia of having biased editors...

I'm shocked, shocked to to hear Wikipedia has biased editors. Shocked, I tell you.

Wikipedia increasingly reflects the biased liberal media. Try to find much of anything really negative about the character of LBJ in the WP on him. Which is most likely because this is Wikipedia which protects its own. Thus the notorious immorality that Johnson's biographer, Robert Dallek (who is quoted as such in the article) found in his research (described in "Flawed Giant: Lyndon Johnson and his Times, 1961–1973: read online) is nowhere found

“Snooganssnoogans”? Someone is a Jay and Silent Bob fan.
