An embarrassed Fox News hits Wikipedia
WWW.CROOKSANDLIARS.COM

It?s been a rough week for our ol? friends at Fox News. Thanks to some IP-address based research, the political world learned that the FNC was responsible for ?touching up? Wikipedia pages, editing content that didn?t fit with the partisan network?s political agenda.

For example, embarrassing content from Media Matters about FNC personalities was quietly removed. Criticism of Keith Olbermann and Al Franken was accenuated. The network that specializes in on-air propoganda had taken its usual schtick to Wiki pages.
With that in mind, it shouldn?t surprise anyone that Fox News? Chris Wallace ? you guessed it ? sought to undermine Wikipedia?s credibility with a report tonight.
The irony is rich. Pay particular attention to the references to ?self-serving agendas? and businesses desperate to ?improve their public image.?
Fox News tried to exploit Wikipedia, and got caught, so naturally it?s time to undermine the source of the network?s embarrassment. Typical.

DONKEY VANDALISM?

Guardian: Dems Changed Rush's Wikipedia Entry







Was Rush Limbaugh's Wikipedia entry vandalized by the Democrat Party? That's the amazing assertion made in today's edition of the left- wing Guardian newspaper. According to the piece, El Rushbo's listeners were called "legally retarded" and the host himself "idiotic".

In addition, the Guardian reports Labour Party insiders rewrote Wikipedia entries to remove criticism of its elected MPs.

All of this has been uncovered by using a program that searched the IP addresses of Wikipedia participants, which led back to the parties apparently involved. In other examples cited, FOX News, the CIA and GOP also edited entries, sometimes to suit their own interests and also for relatively bizarre reasons.

From the piece:



Edited entries

Republican party

Apparently replaced the term "occupying forces" with "liberating" in an article referring to the Iraq war. Somewhat less controversially, a Republican staffer also rewrote a biography of American revolutionary leader George Rogers Clark.

Democrat party

Somebody using a computer inside Democrat HQ edited a page on conservative American radio host Rush Limbaugh, calling him "idiotic", "ridiculous" and labelling his 20 million listeners as "legally retarded".
