I admit it's bad, but then again, in the wake of the war in Iraq and the reporting that got us into it, can we consider newsrooms a worthy source either?

The fact is if we were really serious about changing the world we would quite our jobs, shut down the fucking economy and kick these people out of office. Are we not "The people" or are we just some free market plebes of our corporate-government overlords?

But with regards to the first few paragraphs-
Readers Digest did a survey taking 100 wikipedia entries at random and comparing to the same 100 Encyclopedia Brittanica entries- to find that far more wikipedia entries were in fact accurate..
The reason being that entries were continuously amended until a balanced view, generally free of speculation and subjectivity remained- unlike traditional encyclopedia entries written with an agenda and bias
