Wiki Wars: The Stigma Strikes Back | MHP 070125

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... there was once an effort to construct "the largest encyclopedia in history, both in terms of breadth and in terms of depth,” which its co-founder said should also fundamentally “be a reliable resource.” That site, of course, is Wikipedia, and today, that same co-founder, Larry Sanger, has his doubts about the success of its mission, saying in 2021 that whether or not it can be relied on anymore "depends on what you think the truth is,” and more importantly, whatever the predominant establishment views are at any given time. 

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, after looking at the latest revelations involving Pentagon disinformation and other issues related to the U.S. government's pursuit of answers to the UAP mystery, we shift our focus over to a recent attack launched against our friendly neighborhood podcaster by the anonymous editors at Wikipedia, who have long showcased a harsh disdain for the UAP subject. What does this mean in terms of truth, transparency, and accuracy regarding the world's sixth-most-visited website? 

Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.
