Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
Scrubbed by lefty bias at Wikipedia!
Doc Weasel reports that efforts to keep details of the Greenwald sockpuppetry issue on the record at Greenwald’s Wikipedia entry are erased as quickly as they are posted, and calls for e-jihad to correct this oversight.
The Greenwald entry appears to draw heavily from Greenwald’s exhaustive self-hagiography on his own site, noting various occasions on which he was brought to national attention and prominence in the blogosphere in purisuit of justice, in righteous combat with all manner of foes, without mentioning the mysterious incident that similarly brought him international attention on the blogosphere.
Doc Weasel might be overly charitable in attributing the scrub to a Wiki army of lefties. After reading that entry, I think there’s a strong likelihood it’s an army of one, self-described as neither liberal nor conservative.

To be fair, including this would appear to be against Wikipedia’s sourcing rules for biographical entries, which are not supposed to use sources from websites or blogs.

re: fatty
bull. One of the sources was Michael Barone at US News World Report. Another was Hugh Hewitt of Townhall. If those aren’t reputable sources that at least merit the MENTION of the scandal, then CNN, NYT and other liberal propaganda organs shouldn’t be valid either.
