Wikipedia is steadily trending towards Gell Man Amnesia at scale for any remotely contentious topic.
- notriddle 5y agoConsidering how Wikipedia considers newspapers to be reliable sources, this should be expected.
- Ekaros 5y agoCertain newspapers, but not all... Specially if they don't lean the way most prolific author on article wants.
