Now try to follow the same thought process for other sources of information. Ever see a citation in a newspaper? How do you check the facts on the evening news? What is the sequence of events leading to something being reported (and believed by the vast majority of people reading it)? 1) Reporter discovers something (how???) 2) Reporter submits it 3) Some editor approves/rejects it (how/why???) 4) A very good looking person presents it to you on TV along with audio and visual designed to make it look plausible. If it turns out to be untrue, is it reported? What if you discover that it is untrue yourself? How do you correct it? So yeah, even more popular that wikipedia, but hard to determine how accurate.
