I was very surprised by this completely irrelevant part. Seems very unusual for Wikipedia. > The Utah County region had often boasted of being one of the most socially conservative areas in the United States. However, researchers had shown that guests at the local Marriott Hotel were disproportionately large consumers of pay-per-view pornographic material

Why exactly did this surprise you? Did you think Wikipedia ever had an impartial stance towards conservatives?

  I'd expect an encyclopedia to be politically neutral. Unfortunately, in case of wikipedia, it does not surprise me at all. US left-wing activists have weaponized the "facts" (or, the authority to be the bearer of "facts", to be exact) a long time ago, and a free-for-all public encyclopedia is a perfect proxy for that.

    Or, maybe, being overtly hypocritical like that kinda pisses reasonable people off. Do articles about democrat institutions not talk about overt hypocrisy? The article on the ACLU talks about how people are upset that they don't openly support "unpopular" speech.

      Pissed off or not, Wikipedia is not an appropriate place to vent.
