EXTRA! Yellow Journalism at “The New York Times”

What is with tech journalism today?

I just read the New York Times article entitled “Growing Wikipedia Revises Its ‘Anyone Can Edit’ Policy“. A provocative tagline that is disingenuous, on multiple levels. First of all, it’s not a revision to the policy, Wikipedia has had page protection for quite some time now. Futhermore anyone can edit, so long as they abide by the rules. So nothing has changed. Wikipedia’s methods continue to produce great results. Jimmy Wales, we salute thee!
