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."

    WHY are the /. editors STILL allowing the opinions of single idiots to be posted as "news?" Come on, unless it's actually _important_ I could give two fucks about Bobby Brown or Sally Sue's opinion on Linux, Wikipedia, Firefox, cheese, or anything else.
