The “sources” of so much of what clutters the page of saiddit, ruqqus etc. only serves to lock-in confirmation bias to one “our” side. The Left vs Right polarization serves to distract from the real battle which is Up vs Down. I don’t disagree that Wikipedia is useful for facts that are not in dispute but it’s this utility that it makes it an excellent delivery mechanism to shape public opinion.

I fail to see that SPRS are “assholes” - having been fact-checked by independent watchgroups with "no factual errors" and no obvious bias. People may not like what they say, but are largely neutral. By branding SPR as “promoting unproven conspiracy theories” it’s another example of attempting to discredit the source of inconvenient facts. SPR reveals the food chain of US corporate media and the Council Foreign Relations at the top pulling the strings. The CEO of Wikimedia Council is a high profile member of the CFR. https://swprs.org/the-american-empire-and-its-media/
