I have solid proof Wikipedia is being used as a propaganda tool

[midnight rambler]

Which should come as no surprise to critical thinkers who are awake and aware. I'm convinced that there are some paid personnel who do nothing but cruise wikipedia looking for ways to 'tweak' their statist presentation. Here's my own personal experience: there is a well known personality who opposes gun control. Many people look to this fellow and admire him for his 'political' perspective. Well, I noticed about a year ago that his wikipedia page mentioned that he was in favor of gun control (very well known that this fellow OPPOSES gun control, no question about it for those who keep track of this individual) so I edited to include that he opposes gun control. Since then I've gone back and had to edit it several times because someone had edited that out (they didn't attempt to edit it to say that he favored gun control).

Thank you for posting this - it's very important. This proves that there is an agenda behind Wikipedia. Now, what is that smell.......bagels?

Yes, thank you midnight. For sharing this info, and for actually going out and proving that there is an agenda. I'll never look at Wikipedia the same way now.

wikipedia is partially open source. It allows anyone to edit it. I like the idea of it, but it allows a certain select few to try and propagandize the content.

Good point. As they say, all it takes is one asshole to ruin a good thing for everyone. Wonder who that prick is.....

Even I have made edits to it. Usually when I do, I add a source for my edit so that the content I change is supported with evidence.

Wikipedia was started by Jimmy Wales, a supporter and follower of Ayn Rand and a self described Libertarian. I don't remember ever reading or seeing him being Jewish. You have any sources for that?

This is the double-edged sword - open access allows for wide input but also invites sophistry. Enough people with an agenda can alter the content at Wiki to serve a goal rather than the unvarnished truth. Use Wiki at your own risk because contributors are not credentialed and not accountable.
