Why Wikipedia is bullcrap, part 2,434,430
I've posted several times, here and elsewhere, that Wikipedia is utter garbage posing as an encyclopedia. The fact is that it's a message board where a group of highly motivated jerks with a bunch of time on their hands publish their version of history as if it were absolute fact. I don't have anything against message boards. But don't confuse Wikipedia with a real source of reliable information.
Well P.J. Gladnick explains how Wikipedia, the message board that used to bill itself as "the communal encyclopedia that anyone can edit" now has a bunch of self-appointed censors that prevent changes from being made to entries unless they approve of them. P.J. says, "Wikipedia [is] comedically twisting itself into knots to justify the exclusion of any mention of the alleged John Edwards scandal."

EXACTLY! Wikipedia is bullcrap, what's more, it's leftist bullcrap! It's been taken over by a claque of left leaning censors. I remember reading some time ago an email from a fellow who was fighting Wikipedia because of their Che Guevara entry. He was trying to edit the egregious official lies [taken directly from the Cuban regime it would seem] that makes up the Che entry and they would not allow him to. When something is "controversial" they freeze the editing capacity of the entry until it is reviewed. Needless to say, their reviewers are totally politicized. Go to the Che Guevara entry in Wikipedia, but don't do so on a full stomach.

Good article but that name, "P.J. Gladnick," is really bizarre.
