John Seigenthaler Sr. Criticises Wikipedia

Posted by samzenpus on from the everything-on-the-internet-is-true dept.

EsonLinji writes "John Seigenthaler Sr, a former assistant to Robert Kennedy, has written a commentary in USA Today expressing outrage at a libelous biography that appeared on Wikipedia that suggested he was involved with the assasination of JFK and spent more than a decade in Russia. His commentary also takes aim at internet providers and the laws that allow them to act as common carriers without liability for the actions of their users."

    If you disagree with it, just edit it!
    To quote Homer, he's essentially saying, "can't someone else do it?"

    He doesn't understand why corrections are normally made "within minutes" - it's because in the majority of articles someone gives a shit!

    If he's the only person that cares then it's clearly up to him to put or right or to live with it...
