Political dirty tricks invade Wikipedia

The Washington Times reports that political campaigns are using Wikipedia, the online, user-produced encyclopedia, to hype their own candidates and discredit their opponents. But of course, being the Washington Times, the story features mostly Democrats as evil doers, doing evil to each other, and it reprints the lies spread by the evil campaign staffers about Democratic candidates. Maybe there aren't any Republican candidates' campaigns fiddling with Wikipedia.

Does that seem as unlikely to you as it does to me?

More later,
