Fair and Balanced Wiki
As if you needed another reason to be distrustful of Wikipedia, there’s this story on how the online information source isn’t just being manipulated by individuals, but by corporations (and the CIA!) with an axe to grind. Not surprisingly, it turns out Fox News is among them. Fortunately, as the linked-to stories indicate, there is a way to track these folks now. There may be no cure for Fox News but we can treat the symptoms.

When I linked to the Wikipedia entry on clearchannel recently it was pretty obvious that the company people (or its conservative defenders) had put their two cents in to spin all of the controversies about the company.
Reading the discussion board debate for contested entries is interesting. Its pretty obvious when you get into them that the talk radio crowd has been trying to manipulate many of the topics for a while now.
