Wikipedia is not an authoritative source. It is a leftist disinformation site posing as a neutral, unbaised, dispassionate, exhaustively researched, truthful, wholesome family information center. Wikipedia simply tows the leftist partisan line and should be ignored or dismissed on sight.
Please use this thread to cite your own examples.
Gun Control:
Wikipedia does not include any specific arguments about why gun control is bad and how it leads to tyranny, or why a country such as the US would have a 2nd Amendment and merely asserts that there are "some" who hold this position. Only the following content is offered, none of which is honest and most of which involves major inaccuracies:
I am including here only one-third of the leftist propaganda for stronger gun control that, once again, makes no mention of any of the cornucopia of arguments for eliminating all gun control. Suffice to say that anyone referring to Wikipedia as a "good starting point" is doing himself a grave disservice.
Illegal Immigration:
According to Wikipedia's stated rules about neutrality, this term should merely be defined and should offer relevant statistics without getting into opinions, and especially should not be glorifying those who break the law. Instead, Wikipedia starts by explaining how dehumanizing US and Canadian law is by using the term "alien" and offers these stats:
Remember, this is supposed to be the article on illegal immigration ... not immigrants.
Once we get past the touching empathy for poor, illegal immigrants, we finally get to some effects of illegal immigration. Parts in red are simply false, and are nonetheless locked down by Wikipedia admin:
Then we get into the plight of the illegal alien:
Then the reasons for illegal immigration are listed: poverty, asylum, overpopulation and family reunification. Then we delve further into the plight of illegal immigrants: lack of access to services, slavery, kidnapping and ransoms, sexual exploitation, exploitation of labor, injury and illness, and death. Then the methods employed to achieve illegal immigration are listed: border crossing, human smuggling, overstaying visas, sham marriages. Then we get to numbers of illegal immigrants for some countries, and the US is not one of them, and Canada apparently has no useful documentation.
Suffice to say that anyone referring to Wikipedia as a "good starting point" is doing himself a grave disservice.
This is all for which I have time at the moment. I will add more later.
