Wikipedia Bans ‘100%’ of Conservative Media W
BY JIM THOMAS
ikipedia is accused of favoring left-leaning
media sources while almost completely blacklisting major conservative outlets, according to a new report by the Media Research Center (MRC). The report reveals the self-
proclaimed online encyclopedia disproportionately dismisses right-leaning news organizations as unreliable
while granting credibility to liberal sources. The MRC report stated that
“Wikipedia effectively blocks 100% of right-leaning media sources — the ones more likely to give fair treatment to the majority in Congress as well as to incoming oficials to the Trump administration.” Only 16% of left-wing media
sources fail to win Wikipedia’s stamp of approval. Among the conservative
Trump’s win. For decades, Brill and his wife
have been prolific Democrat donors, including backing Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Brill made himself a national
media name in the 1990s defending President Bill Clinton in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. During Obama’s presidency, he
became an advocate of Obamacare, and later a strong critic of Trump. Brill has used his soapbox and
claims of being a “neutral” journalist to prevent stories like the one involv- ing Hunter Biden’s laptop to be inves- tigated. Brill called the laptop story a “hoax” when federal authorities later said it was authentic. NewsGuard’s co-founder Gordon
Crovitz is a former Wall Street Jour- nal publisher who describes himself as a Republican, but critics say he acts more like a frontman for the left- wing organization. Crovitz’s wife, Amy Worden,
heads global initiatives for the far-left Human Rights Watch. Recently, the group has been leading international efforts to support the ICC’s arrest war- rant for Israeli Prime Minister Benja- min Netanyahu. Major advertising agencies that
have been using NewsGuard to cen- sor conservative media include Omni- com, Interpublic, Publicis, Magnite, PubMatic, TripleLift, Comscore, Zefr, and Giphy.
outlets that Wikipedia labeled “generally unreliable” or “effectively blackballed,” the report found, are Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Daily Mail, Newsmax, One America News Network, and the Media Research Center itself. “Meanwhile, leftist media
like The Atlantic, Jacobin, Mother Jones, ProPublica, The Guardian, and National Public Radio are given the green
light,” wrote Luis Cornelio, the report’s author. “This blatant misinformation means that Wikipedia is purposely feeding Americans information exclusively through the lens of one side of the political spectrum — the left,” he added. Wikipedia has not
responded to the report’s findings. The online encyclopedia claims to operate as a collaborative platform with volunteer editors responsible for content moderation.
CBS Cleaned Up Kamala Word Salad Election interference lawsuit claims network made vice president sound more coherent.
C
BS News extensively edited then-Vice President Kamala Harris’ “word salad” comments during a preelection 60 Minutes interview, according to transcripts
released by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC is investigating whether the editing amounted to election interference after
complaints that Harris’ answers were edited to make her look more coherent. President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the network over its alleged
deceptive editing. CBS has defended the editing as a standard practice for “time, space, or clarity.” The New York Post reported that a CBS source said the 60 Minutes edit did Harris “a
lot of favors and makes her seem more succinct.” CBS insisted the transcripts “show that the 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored
or deceitful.” FCC Chair Brendan Carr said the agency will hold hearings over a complaint by the
Center for American Rights over CBS News’ alleged deceptive news distortion. CBS’ parent company Paramount is reportedly anxious to settle the lawsuit so
the Trump administration doesn’t try to block its planned merger with Skydance, an entertainment company run by the son of Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison. — C.M.
Trump: We’ve Saved Free Speech T
BY SOLANGE REYNER
he U.S. government will no longer “label the speech of our own citizens as ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation,’” President Donald Trump told the World
Economic Forum on Jan. 23. “We have saved free speech in America, and we’ve saved it strongly,” he said. “On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship. “No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as
misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and, frankly, progress.” Trump ordered that no federal oficer, employee, or agent may unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen, an early step toward his campaign promise to dismantle what he called government “censorship” of U.S. citizens. Trump’s executive order, issued just hours after he was sworn in for a second term,
also instructs the U.S. attorney general to investigate how the Biden administration infringed on free speech and proposes “remedial actions” based on the findings.
