IN WEB 2.0, HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY THE WINNERS AND RE-EDITED BY THE LOSERS [UPDATED]

[defrog]

ITEM [via Threat Level]: WorldNetDaily reporter Aaron Klein breaks the untold story of how President HUSSEIN Obama and his libtard agents at Wikipedia don’t want you to know the truth about his terror ties and his birth certificate, and are hiding it by having them edited out of his Wikipedia entry.

Something which Republicans, of course, never, ever do.

Even worse, says Klein, a Wikipedia user called "Jerusalem21" was recently hit with a three-day wiki-suspension after twice posting in the entry that there are "some doubts about whether Obama was born in the U.S. " Klein further claims that wiki editors are doing likewise to anyone who tries to post anything about Obama’s birth certificate.

Which is worth passing on because, as ConWebWatch points out:

1. Actually there’s an entire Wikipedia entry dedicated to the birth certificate conspiracy.

2. "Jerusalem21" has only ever edited one other Wikipedia entry: the one he wrote on ...  Aaron Klein. Suggesting that Klein himself is the one trying to edit Obama’s entry.

Naturally, Fox News is on the case anyway. Because if anyone knows about editing yr own Wikipedia entries, Fox News does.

Scrubbed,

This is dF

===================

EDITED TO ADD [3.12/09]: The WND story has since been edited by Klein to remove any reference to "Jerusalem21" (the Google cache version is, of course, here). Klein has also responded to Threat Level, saying that (1) he is not Jerusalem21, but that Jerusalem21 works for him and does research for him, and (2) he claims his attempts to add bunk to Obama's Wikipedia entry was investigative reporting to test a theory not unlike reporters who, say, try to see if they can register a dog to vote.

Which is true, except that most reporters disclose that detail in the story they eventually write. "It just slipped my mind," Klein writes.

WorldNetDaily came out months ago and verified the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate. Now they've changed their tune.
