The Right's Latest Weapon: 'Zionist Editing' on Wikipedia

I do sometimes get annoyed with the very far left bias of most media outlets. As someone who leans right, I don't necessarily want pro right wing news as I do want some entertainment and news that can be right "friendly" as in it doesn't blame EVERYTHING on the right, and occasionally offers a harsher criticism of the left. However, as much as I don't like the left having such a monopoly on media, I fear the Zionists having a monopoly on the media even more. I may have been raised religious and leaning conservative, but that doesn't mean I take Bibi and Israel hook, line, and sinker. Just because they are religious and right wing does not mean they are MY kind of religious and rightwing. Israel's been biting the hand that feeds them for too long. I feel that way as a veteran and an American citizen. What my fellow conservative leaning people fail to realize is that Talmudic law in Israel will be just as hard on Christians.

It's not just pro-zionists who are using Wikipedia for their own ends. American politicians such as Newt Gingrich are editing Wikipedia for his own ends. Pharmaceutical companies are editing articles giving them a slant. These days Wikipedia is about as accurate as the National Enquirer.

guys, no one takes Wikipedia seriously anymore, and if you look up a political subject on Wikipedia in the first place then your chances of influencing others is verrry minimal. besides, it won't be a battle of information, rather a battle of quantity [ of people editing], at the end Wikipedia will lock these threads.

It's pretty nauseating as it is.

..to combat the usual Lefty schlock of lies,revisionist history,moral inversion,blind to the facts and plain lazy ignorance ... Its a dirty job conteracting lefty gait-prop--but somebody has to do it!

to correct that entry. Arab sympathizers deleted all bibical references to Silwan and inserted political comments and made strategic omissions of current archeological actions and findings. The modern Arab references were deleted by someone else, I admit I never verified them as they seemed shallow and uninteresting. Wikipedia is unquestionably been used by historical revisionists to denigrate Israel, Jews and put a pro-Arab spin on history.

Using Wikipedia as a propaganda and ideology battleground trivializes it as a source of unbiased information. Having said that, it also shows us that it is possible to have more than one legitimate view of history. If you accept that premise, then the door is opened wide for holocaust denial and anything goes. Personally I don't want my recent history of the middle east written by some Israel fanboy or some Arab fanboy. I want it written by some boring athiest who makes some attempt at objectivity, although you will still end up with somebodys point of view.

I guess that means justifiying how they shoot the rightful owners of the land, how they rip out their olive trees, and steal their property.

He says that Israel's "position" on the internet is appalling -- I don't know whether to laugh at him for his attempt at playing thick, or pity him for him actually being thick. He might not be very familiar with AI, HRW or even the UNSC... or maybe they're all inherently anti-semitic.

Don't the organizers detect any irony in their contet prize? "That lucky encyclopedist will receive a trip in a hot-air balloon over Israel. "
