There is not effectively a SSOT (Single Source of Truth) on many topics I didn't say anything about truth. I said facts. He said facts. If something has not been demonstrated to be true, then it is not a fact, but, rather, an assertion or an opinion. he mentioned that people are committed to "sit on" various Wikipedia pages and "fix them" If you had a Wiki entry, you'd be sitting on it, too. Or pay someone to do it for you. Wiki clearly has some rough edges wrt curation. They need to work them out. I imagine that takes time and experience. typical visitors are probably seeking alternate perspectives He thinks so. I'm not so sure. That's not how I use it. I use it to look up something unfamiliar for a quick, reliable take. Either that or to find out what the official or establishment take is. I rarely get past the first paragraph. If I want to get into something more, I use it as a starting place for a search, not a final destination. Seems to me that there are multiple audiences for it and he wants your business, not mine. But there's a market for what it is. I send them money each year. I'm sorry he's disappointed. I would be, too, if my baby got out of my control and took a different direction. But stuff evolves as markets develop. That's how things work. I thought it was a good interview, too.

15 year old boy dies of cardiomyopathy 4 days after Pfizer vaccine shot. He already had Covid, so obviously he didn't need the vaccine, but Fauci and the Dems don't believe in science. VAERS. 15 male, died playing soccer. 4 days post Pfizer vaccine.

I thought it was a good interview, too. Edit: Re insurrection and the like, if you have a venue that centers on the establishment, you will often be at odds because the establishment wrt ideas will always be the intellectuals, the educated, cosmopolitan crowd, the Episcopalians, not the anti-intellectual, anti-science Trumpy crowd. So you guys will always end up with the short end of the stick in that regard. Not the same as political bias although I'm sure it looks that way to you.
