Prager reports that some editors ganged up on Wikipedia and blast just Israel and praise the Muslims. In short, though Wikipedia works hard to be accurate, and will question claims, if you are not careful, you get false information. I am sure Wikipedia knows this and is working to stop this.
So, before you say Wikipedia says, watch this video. There are also complaints that the left uses Wikipedia to create false claims about Trump.

 
Prager is evaluating honesty?

I was once an editor on Wikipedia.

Until they learned I was opposed to abortion, that is.

It's one of the reasons I try to avoid Wikipedia, entirely. ******* leftardz are the very fascists they accuse others of being.

I added to Wikipedia once as an editor.

So YOU are what's wrong with Wikipedia? :SMILEW~130:

Actually, that begs the question: Just how accurate and valid can a news/history/info channel be if the people running it are only favorable toward certain stories/opinions/angles? Picking the ones they like or agree with while rejecting the rest?

The first tenet of science is you form your theories, then you run your tests and go with whatever holds up to the litmus; ultimately, facts dictate your direction rather than your direction dictating facts.

If you wanted/needed to know what the weather was for tomorrow or next week, would you use a site run by people who only liked clear weather and blue skies so refused to report cloudy days, rain, and stormy weather?

People here are always saying that democrats still have not learned, but is there anything to learn? I think democrats are stuck in a mold. They are a slave to their own conformity of ideas. They are incapable of being fair and balanced where their ideology is challenged because their entire self-image is based on it, and Trump could save the world or abortion could be proven harmful, immoral, unnecessary and murderous tomorrow but they still could never even admit anything Trump did was the slightest bit good or successful, or that abortion was ever not solely the arbitrary decision of a mother who just couldn't bother crossing her legs.

One by one, more and more people are simply realizing that the leftist manta just does not comport with reality nor their values and needs and wants something they can count on that actually works, unfortunately, democrats are just a one-tune band.

If anyone reads the exchanges that I linked to, they will see that I wasn't even challenging any of their conclusions, I was simply trying to make them aware of the FACT that there are more than two groups (Pro-Life and Pro-choice - their terms) involved in the debate.

But there is only ONE VIEW in the debate, theirs. Pro-Choice. By suggesting that life is not all black and white and that the world is more complex than that and that people might actually want to use their brains and think, you were challenging their position that there can be no choice at all, but Choice.

Obviously, someone high up in Wiki is heavily invested in that, and my guess is this is an European influence.
