Wikipedia has been a great source for quick information. However, like everyone points out, it shouldn't be used as a final arbiter or means to an end.
Then comes the little games they play that became apparent.
In short, the entries clearly lean left just like the media.
Let's just take but one mere example (just to highlight. I invite people to do the exercise themselves. Just take someone you know is conservative and another liberal. Then go read their entry. You will see conservatives will generally be labeled as 'right-wing'. Liberals or progressives do not. That's done on purpose to give the impression liberals are moderate or centrist).
Today I was looking up 'Larry Klayman' and found this:
(Klayman) is an American right-wing[1][2] activist lawyer[3][4] and former U.S. Justice Department prosecutor.[5] He is the founder of Judicial Watch[6] and Freedom Watch."
I found this interesting.
So I decided to look up another activist lawyer and remember Gloria Allred and this is how she's described:
(Allred) is an American women's rights attorney known for taking high-profile and often controversial cases, particularly those involving the protection of women's rights
And you see this across the board with groups, organizations and individuals. You rarely see liberals being called 'left-wing' because this conjures up images of socialists and gulags.
Wait. It gets worse. Much worse. I didn't want to do it for fear of my hunch being confirmed. It was.
Bill Ayers:
"William Charles Ayers (/ɛərz/; born December 26, 1944)[1] is a former leader of the Weather Underground[2] and American elementary education theorist. During the 1960s, Ayers participated in the counterculture movement that opposed US involvement in the Vietnam War. He is known for his 1960s radical activism and his later work in education reform, curriculum and instruction."
Wikipedia can't even bring itself to describe him as 'left-wing. Of course he's more than just left-wing.
He's an extremist. A communist terrorist and a criminal. He's bad person who isn't contrite about his anti-American actions.
"Although the bomb that rocked the Pentagon was itsy-bitsy—weighing close to two pounds—it caused 'tens of thousands of dollars' of damage. The operation cost under $500, and no one was killed or even hurt."
He's also an immoral coward. But hey, he got his sweet digs and gigs thanks to an academic system rotting with left-wingers.
There's your no-nonsense entry.
That's why I laugh my ass off whenever I see Wiki beg for money.
Fuck 'em.
