A Waste of Time
Evidently there exists a site called Conservapedia. As of this moment the site appears to be down, probably because some leading bloggers linked to it. To mock it. Which it so richly deserves. Language Log has a post fisking some language-related entries, which are appallingly
The about page begins with the phrase, “Tired of the LIBERAL BIAS every time you search on Google and a Wikipedia page appears? Now it’s time for the Conservatives to get our voice out on the internet!” This is bizarre. First, I’ve never detected any liberal bias on Wikipedia. Second, anybody can edit Wikipedia. If you think that an article displays liberal bias, edit the article to remove that bias. Wikipedia even has a special mechanism for disputing articles that aren’t deemed neutral. Why do you need a separate source for articles with conservative bias no bias at all?
I ask because in several political dimensions I still am a conservative, and this sort of thing just embarasses me.
