The problem is that the news sources that Wp trusts have gone completely bananas over the past decade.

      I wish those people over 40 hadn't put a US government in place that abolished the fairness doctrine. Then our news sources would probably not be so bananas.

      > IRC, as an example, Newsweek lost its trusted status Precisely, it lost its trusted status, but the GP posts that WP trusts publications that have gone bananas. So your example speaks in favor of Wikipedia's reliability.

      That is not a citation. It's an appeal to generational bias, and fails miserably. Please provide an appropriate citation.

    IIRC, as an example, Newsweek lost its trusted status as it adopted a news tabloid format. Further, they no longer have fact checkers and do not print corrections. Surely that's a disqualification right there. Though I don't see that specific criteria listed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines FWIW, here's Wikipedia's roundup of sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per...

      If a news source loses reliability and wiki no longer uses it, how does that support the claim that wiki sources are bad?
