Obama's Wikipedia Page Distances President From Wright and Ayers

What a tangled Web Wikipedia users can weave.

Critics noted over the weekend that President Obama's page on the free online encyclopedia had been edited to remove any mention of his links to former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, and to allow only a brief citation of his connection to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — though pages for Ayers and Wright are heavily peppered with references to the president, including subsections on both pages that detail their past affiliations with him.

The lone mention of Wright on Obama's page appears in a section on his family and personal life; it says the president left Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ in May 2008 after "controversial statements made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright became public," citing an Associated Press article.

March 9: The ‘scrubbing’ of critical mentions was briefly noted in Obama’s Wikipedia page Monday, but the entry has since been removed.

So, can’t somebody with Wikipedia editing privileges go in and put it back? Isn’t that how it works?

Funny....so did the MSM.

Hint...

"Their founding document [the Weather Underground's] called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[1] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."..."-Berger, Dan (2006).

They have tried. It appears that Wiki and the Obama admin have a team of scrubbers poised and ready to keep his bio clean. Anyone posting the truth has their privileges revoked.

well wikipedia is still useful for finding all references in Simpsons episodes.

“It appears that Wiki and the Obama admin have a team of scrubbers poised and ready to keep his bio clean.”

Wonder if they got their training from China?

The rough analog to book burning. Next stop: Kristallnacht.

.....that is, unless an episode is critical of Obama.

[Syncro]

Wiki is totally leftist liberal and controlled by those types.

Changes inserting truth will be routed out quickly

Has any president before Obama ever had so many protectors in so many media formats? I don’t think so - we’re seeing something unique in American history: a president whose enablers control many popular forms of communications and are determined not to allow criticism of him.

To this reader Wikipedia has jumped the shark.

No more visits from this surfer.

Then, with a movement which was as nearly as possible unconscious, he crumpled up the original message and any notes that he himself had made, and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames.

Wikipedia...who needs to increase their carbon footprint when Obama's personal Ministry of Truth can do it in cyberspace.

Conservapedia is a great alternative to lies and propaganda.

Someone surely has a pdf of that wiki profile. All you have to do is command p,
save as pdf and you have it for all eternity, if you’re MAC. Don’t know about other.

Really, the concept of an “anyone can edit” encyclopedia was doomed to failure from the moment of conception.

If you don’t mind a bit of R/X-rated humor, the encyclopediadramatica.com pokes fun at them both, along with other things.
