Wikipedia being altered.

Did anyone see the news last night that Wikipedia is being manipulted for political ends.

It seems that some US Senetors didn't like their right ups so got their members of staff to edit out the nasty bits.

Apparantly George Bush had had 300 edits in under a month.

Good old US politics.

Perhaps UKIP policy should offer the Americans a chance to rejoin the union. At least they would a choice of 3 parties to vote for.

(sorry, 4 parties) :wink:

British parties are just as bad.

Wikkipedia is hardly neutral on any score. Even the language of neutrality holds a bias. Omission is also a form of bias.
