The true beauty of Wikipedia is not in its articles, but the links to primary sources at the ends of those articles. As with any source, a certain amount of discernment is required to sift through the useful and thoroughly useless.

Agreed. And we mustn't blindly rely on printed media either. Even information that has gone through thorough peer review and have since become commonly accepted "truths" are subject to change. Especially in the humanities.

I've even heard that you can't trust everything you hear on the radio-apparatus, but it still doesn't prevent me from tuning in to the news.

But, you see, we have this new-fangled picture-tube which shows you pictures of that which you were heretofore accustomed only to listening to! It is far more sensational. No, seriously, even the news is sensationalized.

Give me the good old days when William Randolph Hearst was king. If it was in print, it was true.

Remember The Maine! ;)

Simply junk. Horribly inacurate.

Personal intrest stories, tolerable.
