Published August 14, 2007 in Fox News.

Somebody at Fox News is rewriting Wikipedia entries to attack liberals and embellish Fox News. Cute. They don’t call it Pravda for no reason.

Look who else is screwing with Wikipedia -
Someone at the New York Times contributed the following edit to the Wikipedia page for “George W. Bush:”

Just to verify, here’s a WHOIS lookup on the IP: 199.181.174.146.

Spider,

Someone at the NY Times edited the Wikipedia entry calling him a jerk. Someone at the BBC edits in “wanker” on the same Bush page.

Now employees at the UN are getting in on the game and editing the Oriana Fallaci page calling her a “racist whore”. Nice folks at the UN eh?

Lots more here -
