You Evil DU-Propagandists - you control Wiki ...per a certain conservative site!
Edited on Mon May-14-07 03:31 PM by Maat
Of course, I've been a proud member for years!

*****Quote****

Left in Control of Wikipedia
...

As a result of Wikipedia's open-door policy, hordes of political partisans have flocked to the site from such liberal Web sites as MoveOn.org and Daily Kos, and made it their "turf."

....

Newcomers who try to put Wikipedia's "neutral point of view" into practice on sensitive political subjects are often shouted down, or baited into committing rules infractions that lead to a lifetime ban.

Wikipedia members from Democratic Underground and MoveOn.org have the power, the numbers and the seniority. They can win any argument about content, either through mob tactics or a well-placed block by a friendly administrator. The rules and policies form an online minefield, and they derive immense satisfaction from baiting newbies into that minefield.

Editors are recruited from Democratic Underground. The author of the recruiting drive, Ben Burch, is the Webmaster of a site whose motto is "Fighting the Rise of the New Fascism."

3. You know, that's funny
When I was at Wikipedia, I categorized "Armstrong Williams" as a Propagandist, and it got removed because it was 'pov'.

10. Wiki is not trusted by conservatives or progressives.
Maybe that says something about it.

14. Laughable irony from the last sentence in their "report"
"Thus the information superhighway offers everyone access to the same often inaccurate and biased information."

19. Newsmax is not creditable. It only acts like a stick in a bee hive to stir up the knuckle draggers.
