It’s been a rough week for our ol’ friends at Fox News. Thanks to some IP-address based research, the political world learned that the FNC was responsible for “touching up” Wikipedia pages, editing content (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/8/14/212516/918) that didn’t fit with the partisan network’s political agenda.


Ain't that just speshul.


Daily Kos has the complete skinny. Crooks and Liars has the flapping fat. :cool:

Oooh, and they're not the only ones doing it!

Yes, I know people mess with Wikipedia all the time, I just didn't realise it was political parties and news networks, etc, that were diddling the facts, I thought it was just snot nosed little kids. Though some may ask what the difference is.
