So much for unbiased information eh? but just about every text that we've ever read has been edited with favoritism in mind. *shrug*

Up until tax time and conflicts with oil policy, I don't really get angry with the current administration, but this is a truly a nefarious action.

They have vandalized my FAVORITE site on the internet.

This is unforgivable.

If history is truly written by the winners, then what does the internet mean to history when the truth can be re-arranged like so many 1's and 0's?

Childish bastards, there's a 'talk' page on all wikipedia entries. Their grevances with the article should've been articulated there. Kinda points to the systemic weaknesses in Wikipedia though. There should definitely be some sort of pre-requisites one would need to meet before being able to make carte blanche changes to a page. Otherwise edits should be moderated for accuracy.

When BrandonWhat posted an article correcting them about something religion related, they made him submit what I would amount to almost a full dissertation.
