Wikipedia is highly edited and the Admins have the final say. There is no real fact checking or even a pretence. Idiots like to think it's free but it's not.

There is plenty of fact checking.  BY THE PEOPLE WHO CHECK THE TOPICS.

And there are plenty of people who are going about, checking the topics.  All the time.  That is why some articles have "The neutrality of this article is disputed", so that people will correct it.

Sometimes, when the news is on and showing the war, I wish bullets would rip out of our hi-def screens and shatter everything this institution has shoved down our throats.

Believing the world can be a better place is greater than the beliefs in all deities combined--times infinity.

Of course.  Because you're RIGHT.

Anything that is free information bothers you, because it contradicts your own personal biased sources.

Anybody who is RIGHT would do the same.  It's ok.

Yes, and as we all know, truth has a liberal bias.

Conservatives only believe in truthiness. As long as it *sounds* like the truth and fits their ideology, it must be true.

Bush goes bumbling along, grinning and spewing moronic one-liners, as though nobody understands what a colossal failure he has been. I fear to the depth of my being that John McCain is just like him. Jack Cafferty
