DMcG BS: Wikipedia bans Daily Mail (174* d) RE: BS: Wikipedia bans Daily Mail 10 Feb 17


That wipes out anything ever written by Seumas Milne, George Monbiot or Tariq Ali and a host of others then

I don't understand, Teribus. Steve said he wanted news clearly separated from opinion and comment. The people you identified (and quite possibly the host of others) write in sections clearly identified as comment, not news, when they use their name. Now, for all I know, they also write anonymous articles in the news section, and if they mixed news and comment in that I am sure Steve would object to the mixing there.

It is virtually impossible to write any news article without some degree of bias. Even selecting which articles appear and which do not has an angle. However, the point about the Daily Mail is that, *in the opinion of Wikipedia* it does not try hard enough to eliminate the biases.
