Wikipedia is a globohomo propaganda outlet rather that a source of genuine information, thats been widely known for quite a long time. Way back in the early days of 4chan there was an drive to get moot a page and the wikitwats kept on deleting it. It went on like that for about 5 years, the wikicunts only relented after moot featured in the washington post, which is just another globohomo propaganda outlet. Seeing moot in one of their sister globohomo propaganda outlets is what made moot officially important enough to merit a wiki page.

Musk says that wikipedia is edited by losers so that presumably all the scientific information there is wrong, dumb, fake and gay

How accurate is his assessment of the wikipedia situation with respect to science?

However, Sanger notes that these more trustworthy Wikipedia alternatives are hidden in the search results provided by Google.

Greenwald, a longtime Democrat who previously supported the Obama administration, revealed that he’s no stranger to the “weaponization” of “new information tools.”

Greenwald describes the hijacking of Wikipedia as “the most valuable propaganda arm of any other weapon.”

Greenwald said he had been targeted with political attacks and weaponized propaganda due to his involvement in whistleblower Edward Snowden’s release of U.S. government secrets.

Sanger’s revelations aligned with findings from a programming student named Virgil Griffith, who first published evidence of CIA and FBI activity on Wikipedia in 2007.

According to a 2007 Reuters report, Griffith had developed a program, called Wikiscanner.

The program could trace the location of computers used to edit Wikipedia articles.

The Huffington Post reported in 2008 that the CIA and FBI were found to have edited numerous articles, removing incriminating information.

The CIA, for example, used its computers to remove casualty counts from the Iraq War.

The FBI, meanwhile, removed images of Guantanamo Bay and edited articles on various subjects.

Sanger concluded that intelligence agencies either paid influential individuals to advance their agendas or developed their own personnel within the intelligence community to manipulate Wikipedia content to their advantage.
