US Intel Manipulation of Wikipedia goes back 10+ years

Tyler Durden – The co-founder of Wikipedia has revealed a bombshell concerning long-running suspicions of US intelligence interference and manipulation on the world’s most well-known collaborative online encyclopedia.

The site’s co-creator Larry Sanger spoke to journalist Glenn Greenwald on his “System Update” podcast, and outlined the known “information warfare” efforts of US intelligence, which have to some extend make Wikipedia a tool of “control” by the left-liberal Washington deep state. Continue reading

Is High Court Airing Out “the Stench” from Oral Argument Over Abortion?

SotomayorJonathan Turley – In Wednesday’s Supreme Court oral argument in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Justice Sonya Sotomayor got a whiff of something she did not like. She said many abortion opponents, including the sponsors of the Mississippi abortion law at issue, hoped her three new colleagues would allow for the reversal or reduction of Roe v. Wade.

With Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett listening, she asked, “Will this institution survive the stench” created from such political machinations — and then answered: “I don’t see how it is possible.” Continue reading

When former CBS News correspondent Lara Logan blasted the mainstream media last week, saying too many journalists are now “political activists” carrying out a liberal agenda, she got plenty of attention from both the left and right. Conservatives applauded Logan for her honesty about media bias, while many on the left were angry that she would insinuate any bias among journalists at all.

On Tuesday, Logan elaborated on this problem in an op-ed for the New York Post, “Political bias is destroying people’s faith in journalism.

“There is nothing more human than opinions and bias. To say we have none is dishonest,” Logan writes. But “Journalists are not activists,” she observes. “We may share the passion for a particular cause, but our job is to follow the facts wherever they may lead.” Continue reading

The Unbearable Smugness of the Main Stream Media

Mark Patricks – Of all the press coverage of the recent presidential race, perhaps none was more egregiously one-sided than that of The New York Times.

The famous “Gray Lady” of newspapers is widely hailed as one of journalism’s best-known standard bearers. But in the race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton, the paper gave up all pretensions of journalistic integrity and objectivity as it bent over backwards to not only present the Democrats’ case in the best light but to actually become the Clinton campaign’s surrogate mouthpiece, particularly in the latter stages of the contest.

Even early on, the paper clearly had a different tone and imbalanced coverage that favored Clinton over her primary rival Bernie Sanders, who was drawing far larger crowds than the former Secretary of State. But among the Establishment crowd, Clinton had long been the odds-on favorite not only to win the primaries but to dominate the general election itself, no matter who the Republican nominee turned out to be.

Although the paper has long been an elite liberal voice, favoring Democrats over Republicans for decades in terms of its endorsements and editorials, the journal’s undisguised contempt for Donald Trump stretches back more than 35 years.

To his credit, Trump also has had a longstanding disrespect for the New York broadsheet, blasting the paper’s criticism of his various civic projects and real estate developments around the city.
