Has Canada declared war on the USA by shutting down their power generation capability?
And I always thought those Canadians were so nice.
You're viewing a single thread.
Not sure if people are aware but the gateway pundit is a far right fake news site known for publishing hoaxes.
In this case they do actually link to a source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-08/smoke-sends-northeast-solar-power-plunging-by-50-as-wildfires-rage
I guess they'll be calling for more coal power stations now to help them through the climate crisis?
Interesting. That sounds terrible.
What Hoaxes have they published?
There are a bunch so instead of going through them I'll link the Wikipedia page.
I think the cofounder of Wikipedia said all that needs to be said about the credibility of Wikipedia
Wikipedia can no longer be trusted as a source of unbiased information since the online encyclopedia’s left-leaning volunteers cut out any news that doesn’t fit their agenda, according to the site’s co-founder.
Larry Sanger, 52, co-founded Wikipedia in 2001 alongside Jimmy Wales, said the crowdsourcing project has betrayed its original mission by reflecting the views of the ‘establishment.’
He said he agreed with the assessment that ‘teams of Democratic-leaning volunteers’ remove content that isn’t to their liking, including information about scandals linked to President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Tells me all I need to know about you lol
Just having a bit of fun
I'm struggling to understand what the fun you're having is.
I had to lookup your quote to find it's attributed to "Larry Sanger" who hasn't worked with wikipedia for 20 years...
It feels like leaving that out and just posting the quote was intentionally misleading. Is misleading people in this community fun for you?
Are you saying Larry's view should not be considered
No, but the way you framed it it was suggesting this was a recent change. As far as I can tell he's been at odds with wikipedia since he left in 2002.
His views is that since 2002 the site is more left leaning.
Context is super important and I'm trying to find what you were joking about.
Listen to what Joe Organ says about Wikipedia
Joe Rogan isn't exactly a creditable source of anything. He regularly makes up shit. It's best not to assume anything he says is creditable and be surprised when he actually talked to an expert about something.
