Wikipedia talk pages are a perfect example of facts ignored and removed from articles to push an agenda. You can see how a narrative can be pushed with half-truths and selective editing. Same thing is happening in News, its agenda driven, not truth driven. Entertainment opinion pieces that pretends to be news. People are just bending the facts to support their personal politics.
If Wikipedia can't be factually accurate due to editors personal politics, how do you keep those personal politics out of a fact checker?
- YazIAm 8y agoYou're 100% correct in that one can cite completely valid facts and still push an agenda by omitting other facts. I'm actually working on a "fact comment section" feature where any reader can pin facts to an article (facts that still go through the same rigorous and open fact checking process as everything else). Facts which readers deem are important extra context. However, I'd argue that even without such a feature, having an open standard for facts openly verified from primary sources will add a lot of value to current public discourse.
