      “We think people just like Blahaj because their friends online do, not because of the shark itself, but we have no evidence either way, and also mainstream media is liberal and bad.”

    Their biggest and saddest win, is making truth debatable.

      The US has been on this path at least since Reagan was president.

    To be clear:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_and_fact-checking.
    Vs.
    https://grokipedia.com/page/Wikipedia_and_fact-checking.

    Grok explains itself:

    Co-founder Larry Sanger has argued since 2020 that the platform exhibits a pronounced left-wing slant, attributing it to the exclusion of conservative viewpoints via policies that deem non-mainstream outlets unreliable, even when they report verifiable facts overlooked by establishment media.[89] This is evident in the Reliable Sources guideline, which prioritizes legacy media—often critiqued for institutional left-leaning tendencies—over primary data or alternative analyses, effectively blacklisting sites like those affiliated with the Daily Wire or Breitbart unless corroborated elsewhere

    Wikipedia works because of the vigilant team of volunteers maintaining its quality. Let’s see how Musk is going to do that 😏

      When you don’t care about the truth you don’t have put so much energy into maintaining quality

      Wikipedia makes it easier to be informed. The wealthy dont want you informed. Simple as. He wants to be able to control the narrative.
