Man, that site is hilarious. Read their evolution article then read the creationism article. And yet they accuse Wikipeadia of bias.

The difference is they admit their bias. It's like Fox News vs. CNN. The guys who are conservative on Fox news admit what they are. The liberal media on CNN still try to say they are unbias. As long as you admit where you are coming from, it's not a problem.

"The guys who are conservative on Fox news admit what they are."
-----
Bill O'Reilly claims his show is a "No Spin Zone". The network itself claims it
is "Fair and Balanced". "We Report. You Decide." This doesn't sound like
admitting a bias to me.

Fox News would be "Fair & Balanced" if it wasn't for their, y'know, reporting.

Where and when exactly did Fox News admit a conservative bias? Quote please.

I went to a sales and marketing seminar last week that featured a speaker who promoted Wikipedia as a wonderful resource. When asked about the credibility of it's information, he assured everyone that it was tightly policed by the Wiki-police.
Every story of errors and misinformation was met with stories from others about how "I've seen them correct mistakes, so I know it works."
I'd no more list Wikipedia as a source than I would this message board.

Errr - shouldn't the mistakes be corrected BEFORE it's open to the public, not after? After all - someone might be looking at it beforehand.
The Associated Press annoyingly does this sometimes, with breaking stories - they get them out there before they've had a chance to fact-check the whole thing, and then issue micro-corrections throughout the day.

Yeah, no kidding. Remember when that mine exploded, and that false story came through that said that the miners had all survived? 90% of the papers the next day read "MINERS SAVED!" - only a couple hours later, it turns out it was the Mayor's wishful thinking, and only one miner survived.
That's what happens when you don't fact-check.

JB --
I wasn't aware of your stance on Wikipedia when I inserted some information for a forum member a few days back (about what happened to Charlton characters) -- I wondered what happened to the post.
Sorry - it wasn't my intention to violate a forum ruling.
won't happen again.
