Wiki manipulations

From Pombo Watch concering Wikipedia edits done on Rep. Richard Pombo’s entry by computers in the House of Representatives in an obvious attempt to cleanse it of references about the relationship between Pombo and Jack Abramoff.

(This) marks a new low in the manipulation of public opinion by workers for the House of Representatives. This appears to be done to control the public opinion about Representative Richard Pombo, the subject of most posts on this blog.

The source article: There’s a whole lotta wiki goin’ on

Thx to Green Lisa for the tip!
