This has become so typical of the political and social left over the last 10 years that it hardly bears mentioning.
From the Washington Examiner, [1] this morning.
A crew member from “The Hunting Ground,” a one-sided film about campus sexual assault, has been editing Wikipedia articles to make facts conform with the inaccurate representations in the film.
Edward Patrick Alva, who is listed [2] on the film’s IMDB page as part of the camera and electrical department, has been altering Wikipedia entries for months, in violation of the website’s conflict-of-interest guidelines. Alva is the assistant editor and technical supervisor for Chain Camera Pictures, the production company associated with “The Hunting Ground” director Kirby Dick.
Wikipedia guidelines state: “Do not edit Wikipedia in your own interests or in the interests of your external relationships.” As a member of the film’s production team, Alva should not have been editing pages about the film or
related to the film.
Well, no kidding he shouldn’t have been. But the fact is this kind of bending of facts to fit the agenda happens all the time with these people. It’s simply the way it gets done anymore.
Wikipedia certainly is less than reliable on such matters, and always has been for the reasons listed above. But they’re not alone in this. PolitiFact, (run by a left wing paper)…Snopes, (funded by among other leftists, George Soros) and of course CBS NBC ABC PBS etc are all subject to agenda reinforcement at the cost of truth as well.
I suspect that one of the current administration is gone, we are going to find that the number of times and ways we’ve been lied to in support of the leftist agenda by like stepping liberals in the supposedly trustworthy press and other sources as I’ve listed above, is far higher than we would have possibly imagined.
