Wikipedia Activist Editors Busted Covering Up For Racist New York Times Writer
chicksonright.com ^ | Aug 5, 2018 | By Andrew Mark Miller

You have probably heard by now that the New York Times recently hired a racist. If you are familiar with the New York Times you probably weren’t to surprised by that but a lot of people out there are finally realizing that the liberal left doesn’t care about racism if it directed at white people...

Most rational people are confused as to how ‘Roseanne’ loses her job for one bad joke and people like Sarah Jeong are rewarded with jobs.

It looks like Wikipedia editors have decided to stick up for Jeong.

From The Daily Caller:

New York Times editorial board member Sarah Jeong’s Wikipedia page includes no mention of her racist tweets that resurfaced after her new position with the newspaper was announced, apparently because activist editors for the free online encyclopedia won’t allow any mention of her tweets.

There has been a lot of debate amongst Wikipedia writers and editors about whether or not mention of her racist tweets should be included on her page.

One edit request in favor of adding a section about her tweets said:

Sarah Jeong is infamous for her racists tweets on twitter, most of the people who know her name will know her by her tweets. Because of this, I think it is misleading to not say a single line about her racist tweets and simply label her as “an American journalist specializing in law and technology topics”.

An editor responded to the requests by saying, “First, it uses the word ‘found,’ which suggests a mainstream authority, preferably a scientific one. Second, ThePostOnline is an explicitly right-wing news site, according to wikipedia’s own article on it, and therefore not a reliable source.”

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to donate to Wikipedia — ever. It is just another leftist hackneyed operation just like Snopes, only on a larger scale.

I’m sure if you checked Snopes to see reports that Jeoung is a racist it would come back as....

False.

That's precious.

OK. Wikipedia has confirmed that it too, like all other media, is firmly on the side of the hate-White left.

Here is what the relevant section looks like at the moment

“In August 2018, Jeong was hired by The New York Times to join its editorial board as lead writer on technology, commencing in September.[18] The hiring sparked a strongly negative reaction in conservative media and social media, which highlighted derogatory tweets about white people that Jeong had posted mostly in 2013 and 2014.[19][20] Critics characterized her tweets as being racist; Jeong said that the posts were “counter-trolling” in reaction to harassment she had experienced, and that she regretted adopting that tactic.[19] The Times stated that it had reviewed her social media history before hiring her, and that it did not condone the posts.[19][20]”

Their typical style as used for their god the Fraud would be, “Did Sarah Jeong really say, “Trump supporters are evil racists who bite the heads off puppies”?

To which the Mikkelsons and stooges would assert, “Anyone who believes this must be a Trump supporter. She never called Trump supporters ‘evil’”.

LOL! Wikipedia is not considered a "reliable source." Colleges ban students from quoting Wikipedia as a source.

Trump should tweet about the “racist NYT” instead of the “failing NYT.” That might get them to rethink their recent hire.

Check out the article about Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. The movie came out in 1994, and the Wikipedia article has existed since at least 2007, but it was only this year, in early 2018, that apparently Wikipedia leftists decided it had a "transgender problem," and added a whole section about that, complete with "sources" that include random blogs. The Wikipedia editor that originally added that section to the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective page even describes themselves as a transgender person. It's all such garbage.

Wikipedia is all right for benign stuff, like if you want to look up an article about no. 2 pencils, but it's just worthless for anything related to politics, religion or really any controversial topics.

Some of the best dirt you get on the left is reading the “editing” page on Wikipedia. If this keeps up, they’ll find a way to hide it.

Her best tweets concerned the NY Times itself!

She wrote:

“After a bad day, some people come home and kick the furniture. I get on the Internet and make fun of The New York Times.”

“I don’t feel safe in a country that is led by someone who takes Thomas Friedman seriously.”

“Hannah Rosin shatters ceiling by proving women writers can be as hackish as Tom Friedman, too.”

“[David] Brooks is an absolute nitwit tho.”

“Notajoke: I’m being forced to read Nicholas Kristof. This is the worst.”

“if I had a bajillion dollars, I’d buy the New York Times, just for the pleasure of firing Tom Friedman….”

We can’t let this one go. She must be driven out of her job or the New York Times destroyed. It is a joke and nothing but a racist organization.

Wikipedia is the CIA factbook. It’s what they allow and want us to think.

Use infogalactic.com instead - it’s a clone of Wikipedia that will remain objective to truth and not the ideological whims of a few self selected editors.

You might think a Wikipedia article on Ace Ventura would qualify as benign but apparently not. I went and looked at the link and the added entry on transgenderism is ridiculous. They will make everything political.

Do not donate to Wiki, trade in your iphone for android, do not subscribe to spotify, and do not subscribe to You Tube Red. Hit these idiots who want to censor conservatives/libertarians and cover for the left where it hurts.
