Lying liars and the wikipedia pages they edit

[marypcbuk]

It's not what I was supposed to be researching today but I can't pass this one by. WikiScan tracks anonymous edits on Wikipedia by the owner of the IP range. This means they can find Fox News changing the entry on Al Franken like this

Reflecting later on the lawsuit during an interview on the [[National Public Radio]] program ''[[Fresh Air]]'' on [[September 3]], [[2003]], Franken said that Fox's case against him was "literally laughed out of court" and that "wholly (holy) without merit" is a good characterization of Fox News itself.

You can find some other great edits at http://wired.reddit.com/wikidgame/. And to be fair some of the Fox edits are purely fixing spacing or minor edits that could be improving the text, and not all the other anonymous edits are vandalism or egregious rewriting of history. But this was the first one I looked at ;-)
