Wikipedia Editors Discuss Blacklisting
CBS News After Bari Weiss Named Editor-In-Chief

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 10/18/2025 9:58:36 AM

Following reports of former New York Times editor and the Free Press founder Bari Weiss being appointed editor-in-chief of CBS News, editors on Wikipedia began negatively slanting her page and those of CBS and the Free Press. This includes attempting to label Weiss as right-wing and slanted edits about a CBS settlement with President Donald Trump. Some suggested blacklisting CBS as a source in the future. News about Weiss being appointed to leadership at CBS News first emerged on October 2 with the official announcement on October 6. The newly-merged parent company Paramount Skydance further announced its purchase of her Free Press outlet.

#3, the colleges aren't concerned with Wikipedia being too left-leaning, they are concerned with it being just flat-out wrong. I worked for an Army officer who once said, "Regulations are a GUIDE to action", rather than prescriptive. That's how I use Wikipedia - use it as a guide for further research, not as the final answer. It's sort of ArtificiaI Intelligence using humans instead of computers - so Natural Intelligence? And the "guide" comment works for both.

Elon, please get your Grokipedia up as quickly as possible. Wikipedia has a dangerous monopoly on online information and they are getting nuttier and nuttier every day. Until Elon's site gets up, as others have asked, where else can we go to look stuff up? As predicted AI is equally as biased as Wikipedia.

Yep! The Leftist Liars are firmly in control at Wikipedia. Remember, Wikipedia was only part of the Leftist Media near-Monopoly that existed prior to Elon buying what is now 'X'. I recall Donald Trump using Twitter to blast holes in the Lamestream Wall of Lies, and the Lamestreams actually helped him via their compulsion to cover him in an attempt to discredit him. That was a big part of Candidate Trump's campaign in 2016. The Leftists learned. In 2020, Twitter banned Trump, and he had no large outlet where he could get his views before the American people. That, combined with every kind of 'Rat cheating imaginable, led to the HairSniffer being installed as pResident, with predictably disastrous results for America. Don't forget not only the 'disappearing' of Donald Trump, but also the 'disappearing' of any person, including leading medical researchers and scientists, who even tried to question the Left's pushing of the Covid 'Clot Shot' on the American population. Then Elon bought Twitter, renamed it 'X', and Candidate Trump again had a voice that would reach the American people. That, combined with 'Kneepads' Kammie being perhaps the dumbest Presidential candidate ever, resulted in Donald Trump again becoming President, where he is now engaged is digging America out of the hole that the 'Rats drove us into. The people running Wikipedia are Evil, as far as I am concerned.

Perhaps Wikipedia needs to be sued by the DOJ for any number of reasons, chief among them being the RICO statute?

John Brennan Will Not Like What the House
Judiciary Just Did at All

It looks like it may finally be the execrable former Obama CIA head John Brennan's time. The House Judiciary Committee announced on Tuesday that they were making a criminal referral to the Department of Justice for action. The Chair of the Committee, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), alleged that Brennan had lied to Congress. Rep. Jim Jordan claims in the letter: 1. Brennan falsely denied that the CIA relied on the discredited Steele dossier in drafting the post-election Intelligence Community Assessment. 2. Brennan falsely testified when he told the Committee that the CIA opposed including the Steele dossier in the ICA. 3. Brennan also provided false testimony during a HPSCI hearing in 2017.

We talk a lot about China buying up U.S. farmland and what a problem that is for our own national security. In recent years, many of us — though not enough if you ask me — have been warning about how much influence Beijing has over some other countries in the Western Hemisphere, and how it would be in our best interest to do what we can to stop that. It's the number one reason why I have no problem with Donald Trump doing away with Nicolás Maduro, allowing for the rightfully elected president, Edmundo González, to step in and take his place.

In American political theater, every dance follows a specific conceit. It’s how our career politicians know when to lead and when to follow. For the government shutdown dance, the conceit hasn’t changed since the first one in 1981: Closing vital government services — and interrupting the delivery of federal paychecks — will infuriate the American people, and whoever they blame will suffer their wrath on Election Day.So, for God’s sake, don’t get caught in the crossfire! That’s why the D.C. finger-pointing, grandstanding, and name-calling had already reached a fever pitch: Losing the blame-game could cost ‘em their political future.

Hunter Biden finally addressed the pardon in an interview with journalist Tommy Christopher and claimed Trump’s victory in November 2024 inspired his father, then–President Joe Biden, to pardon him the following month. “Donald Trump went and changed everything,” Hunter Biden said. “And I don’t think that I need to make much of an argument about why it changed everything.” If Trump had not won the election, Hunter Biden does not believe his father would have pardoned him. Instead, Hunter thinks he would have won in the appeals process.

Called “ultraconservative” by the liberal media, Japan’s new prime minister is its first woman ever in that position. But a Japanese feminist author told NBC News that Japan attaining its first female prime minister “doesn’t make me happy.” Sanae Takaichi takes the reins of power in Japan with strongly conservative positions on gender and marriage. She’s much more like Phyllis Schlafly than Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris. Takaichi opposes same-sex marriage and is against allowing married woman to keep their maiden name as their last name after marriage. She favors the Japanese tradition of male-only succession in its imperial family.

Some vendors tried to flee, with some seen running and falling as agents closed in, according to WABC.

In New Mexico, it’s almost impossible to prove voter fraud. No proof of citizenship is required to register to vote, and no voter ID is required for in-person voting. For absentee voting, no photo ID is required to obtain an absentee ballot, no copy of a photo ID need be included with the returned absentee ballot, and there is no signature verification of the signature on the returned inner envelope. Why does New Mexico have such slipshod laws? You can thank the Democrat-controlled state Legislature that has had single-party rule for decades.

The rabbi of a prominent Manhattan synagogue slammed Zohran Mamdani as a “danger to the security of the New York Jewish community” — as he urged congregants to back Andrew Cuomo for mayor instead. “I believe Zohran Mamdani poses a danger to the security of the New York Jewish community,” Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, of the renowned Park Avenue Synagogue on the Upper East Side, said during his Saturday sermon. He said Mamdani refuses to denounce the phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” denies Israel’s legitimacy as a Jewish state, has vowed to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and cited his “thrice-repeated accusations of genocide” against Israel in Gaza at last week’s mayoral debate.

Zelensky made the remarks following a visit to the White House and a one-on-one meeting with President Donald Trump on Friday. Trump stated during the engagement that, following the signing of a peace agreement to end the war in Gaza last week, he intends to focus America’s foreign policy on achieving a sustainable peace for Ukraine.

Judicial tyranny continues. A federal judge recently ordered ICE agent arrests at courthouses. US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, barred ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens at Cook County, Illinois, courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. Judge Cummings said the ICE agents can be arrested if they violate his court order. The judge barred ICE agents from making “collateral arrests” – a term that describes the arrest of illegal aliens who happen to be discovered during the arrest of another alien for whom they have a warrant to take into custody.

Johnson is proposing a so-called "head tax" that would apply to companies with more than 100 employees and would levy a monthly $21 per employee on companies that meet the employment threshold. The amount of the tax would increase based on inflation, and would be assessed based on the number of employees who work in Chicago 50% or more of the time. The mayor sees it as a means of

Nothing screams “fall fashion” like a cozy midweight scarf complemented with a side of class struggle. That’s the message from embattled retailer Target, who’s been caught pushing communist literature in fall fashion ad campaigns geared toward urban women of a certain age, The Post has learned. This is happening at a time when the company can hardly afford any more culture war beefs. Karl Marx’s political treatise “Capital” — beloved by radical leftists the world over — has been given a “landmark new translation” and was spotted nestled in Target’s carousel ads on Instagram. It is somewhat subversively being displayed smack in the middle of unrelated products

At City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s Christina Buttons reminds us of some basic facts. Copious links are omitted: When the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated last month, leaders in both parties condemned the attack, and many mourned the husband and father of two. But some progressives on social media had a different reaction: they rationalized, mocked, and even celebrated the killing. The scale of this reaction was not trivial. An online database logged over 63,000 user-submitted posts that cheered Kirk’s death, though the site
