Wikipedia Sucks!

Happened to be stepping through the dial and landed on this interview with RFK Jr on a show called "In Depth" where he objected to his wikipedia entry and that it is locked. Seems to mostly be about perceived anti-vaccine advocacy that he claims stems from his objection to mercury in vaccines that has since been removed and he is not against vaccines in general. I can't quote his exact words but he spoke of wikipedia in conspiratorial terms

Yes, even the Wikipedia page about his 2024 campaign includes references to "conspiracy theories" and "anti-vaccine misinformation" in the opening paragraph. It's disgusting.

Disgusting or not, it's classic Wikipedia. Any public figure they don't like, even for the shakiest or most absurd reasons, gets this charming treatment. Anyone accused of domestic abuse is dead meat on WP. In some ways it is little different from a British tabloid. They do it with such "gusto".

Wanna see more (recent) examples?

Russell Brand is terrible tho.

No argument tho it does seem as if his twattishness is an essential part of his "comedy act". Other twats eat it up.
