About this episode
John Stossel discusses the manipulation of Wikipedia by leftists and its impact on AI and search results with guest Ashley Rindsberg.
I once reported how great Wikipedia is. But now, it’s manipulated by leftists. That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results. In this podcast, Ashley Rindsberg of NPOV Media explains how, “Wikipedia's information spreads into everything online.” That means when your ask ChatGPT, Google, or your phone a question, it’ll likely to take leftist spin straight from Wikipedia. I also share an excerpt of my conversation with Veteran Wikipedian Jonathan Weiss. Three years ago, he told me how the site, like academia, has been captured by leftists. We cover many examples.
