Stumble it!

Changes made to Wikipedia from an IP Address that resolves to Fox News, show a pattern of smearing Fox's rivals, including Al Franken, Keith Olbermann, and CNN, while removing damaging or embarrassing information to it's own reporters. We pored through the changes to produce a comprehesive list of what Fox News allegedly changed."

Darn, we're on reddit frontpage, and soon on digg and maybe slashdot... I'm not sure [GAS] will handle the load of shoutwire :)

This is only a small taste of the fraudulent edits done to Wikipedia.

Don't ever trusted Fox New. They try to condition your thinking.

I don't think this shows the evilness of Fox News, I think it shows it's stupidity. I bet CNN and other organization have done the same but were smart enough to mask their IPs. Just shows what fucking idiots they are

This doesn't just show the bias of Fox news. It shows the problem with a concept like wikipedia's.

There are examples like this, of people editing wiki and smearing political rivals, from all ends of the political spectrum.

And?

Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information. It is populist media: the majority determine what the content will be by forming cabals and policing content. This is why accredited institutions still do not allow Wikipedia as a source (although they do allow you to use Wikipedia to find other sources).

If you really think there's no liberal bias on Wikipedia, you're an idealogue. Both sides bias everything.

Everything will no doubt be fixed in short order. After all, the Internet has a liberal bias. <-(sarcasm)

the4thwall On Iran, From an American Iranian
I have an Iranian background, so throughout my life I've been bombarded with opinions on the country. Not only that, both my parents were involved in the late 70's revolution, and saw youth that helped Khomeini get to power being shot down by Khomeini's followers afterwards. That's the problem with revolutions, sometimes a power vacuum can destroy what could be a beautifull transformation. On top of that, I have dual citizen ship, and voted in the last election, whi...

Khram Happy Canada Day!
Today is the day the greatest nation that ever existed on Earth began 142 years ago. Canadians have much to be proud of. However, even the greatest nation on Earth still has its problems.The Russians threaten our airspace with their shitty planes and violate our sovereign waters with their submarines up in the Arctic. We should be shooting their planes down and sinking their subs as they cross our borders without warning. None of our politicians have the balls to at...
