Wikipedia scrubs issues about Obama's eligibility

Now the analysis is complete. Darn liberals ruining the WWW too. It wasn't enough for them to be übercontrolfreaks in the media... now they want to control information flow too. Oh nooooooes!!

Seriously... only a right wing fanatic would come up with such a doozy. Besides... fascist mind control and information flow control is a specialty of those that seek to ultra neoconservative views of the world. So if anyone out there wants to look out for this evil kind of censorship, I recommend we look back at what censorship exists for a pleasant *surprise.*

Misinformation on the other hand... doesn't fall too far behind that tree.

No one claimed that liberal were running the WWW. Just like this site like Wikipedia has someone paying the bills and deciding what gets posted and what doesn't get posted and it seems that only conservative postings that run against the beliefs of the guy in charge get deleted.

Can you find where a liberal point of view on a topic has been deleted from the site by the guy in charge?

Point of view. Is that subject to a right wing perspective or just a perspective of what information is supposed to be- neutral? HINT: I side with neutrality in that subject, but extremist whineology dictates that one must complain beyond doubt when faced with any perspective not of one's own ilk. And... surprise, surprise... read back to your very own post before this one.

Now for specifics... when has a perspective anywhere 'left' or extreme right wing idiocy ever received its day under the sun by those that readily reject it? HINT: I can't think of many examples. The more towards center you move, the less whining.

Sure. Left-sided extremes are also literally possible and available. But like its quite and painfully clear... information and fact are not sided. These pearls of reality rely on their precious gift of knowledge- just being what they are.

That's #######. Its an open-source site with no overt political agenda.

That's not to say that there isn't bias in the decisions of individual editors - but the way the editing process works, its fairly transparent to anyone who actually looks at the Talk pages or the change logs for particular topics. They have "editors" because they found out quite quickly that the site was prone to vandalism.

I'm sure there are examples of bias on the site - that's a far cry from making a case for an overarching ideological bias of the entire site. That's just gratuitous exaggeration.

Of course what's assumed in these criticisms is that the site somehow represents a US-Centric view of the world. It doesn't - its a worldwide application, in which respect the US partisan Liberal Vs. Conservative squabbling is pretty meaningless.

When did US conservatives become a bunch of whining pussies? Of course, the real conservatives just don't bother with this bullcrap, and why should they?
