"Is Wikipedia Reliable?" lol

The "Corbett Report" is a conspiracy oriented YT channel. A friend told me about this:

They have a point: there is NO mention of Yeakey anywhere on English Wikipedia. All I could find is this passing note in the archives of the OKC bombing article's talkpage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Okla ... nce_Yeakey
Also no mention of him in the conspiracy-theories article or its history (an article that was repeatedly deleted and battled over).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_ ... y_theories
The paranoid rantings are paranoid. Esp. the comments for the video--featuring the usual antisemitic comments and similar. Yet they make a point: WP is routinely coughed up by Google as "truth", and people accept it as such. Yet it is NOT totally reliable.
Guess what: this guy mentions that "Swiss Propaganda Research" article, and also the infamous Philip Cross.
I'd tell this guy about the book wiki, just to get his dander up, but I doubt he cares. Made up his mind already.
