If you watch youtube right now, and search for Joe Biden, and the problems associated (e. g. Joe physically touching/kissing women but also girls), you can find at the least two videos. One is the original footage, mostly uncut; the other is a variant seen by Politico where some of the problematic parts were cut out.

I don't buy into "randomness" or "accident" when this smells (to me) like a cover-up but I may be biased.

IF it, however had, would become clear that Politico was acting as a "soft" filter here, in favour of Joe Biden, then this is simply not a "neutral" activity but in fact came with a specific goal. This would then be an attempt to influence the opinion of people - think about it this way, random people would find either the original footage, or the shorter variant by Politico, with the problematic parts cut out. But if the people never KNOW the original video footage, then how can they understand the more specific complaints about Joe Biden? Note that this is one SPECIFIC example, but there may be more, also in the future - and it connects to wikipedia indirectly because you need a lot more verification in general (which is another reason why I won't change the main article, due to my possible own bias; it would need people who are not biased either way to make an objective analysis). But IF it is true then what Politico is doing should be viewed more critically in general; that can not be explained "accidentally" if the problematic parts are cut out anymore. This was also why I looked up Politico, to find out more whether they are affiliated with political parties.

Revision as of 15:31, 15 April 2020

A new, redlink editor with only this one edit added a "Controversy" section that, while in and of itself may be pertinent, was written in a partisan way and cited a specifically rightwing source rather than mainstream press. The editor also added commentary beyond the fact itself for what seemed a political agenda. As per WP:BRD, I invited the editor to discuss this problematic edit. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:17, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources

Beriboe: Websites like "AllSides.com" and "mediabiasfactcheck.com" are not reliable sources; they are primary, self-published sources. For help identifying reliable sources, please read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, or go to Wikipedia:Reliable sources noticeboard. And note that the material you added would not be acceptable even if they attributed in-text because of our undue weight policy. Neutralitytalk 23:19, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy over Trump/Macron visit to Mount Vernon

Recent report from Politico here: [1]. Mount Vernon (!) released a statement correcting the record here: [2]. Not sure how or whether to incorporate this into the controversy section. Offering it for consideration. Shinealittlelight (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Objectivty of Politico

If you watch youtube right now, and search for Joe Biden, and the problems associated (e. g. Joe physically touching/kissing women but also girls), you can find at the least two videos. One is the original footage, mostly uncut; the other is a variant seen by Politico where some of the problematic parts were cut out. (I won't directly link to the videos here, but you can find them quite easily if you combine a few of the words that I just mentioned. Be careful to find the original video, and the variant shown by Politico instead, which is shorter.)

I don't buy into "randomness" or "accident" when this smells (to me) like a cover-up but I may be biased. So it would be best if other, independent people could have a look and think about it; ideally perhaps an unaffiliated professor or tech-person could try to objectively and accurately identify all differences. IF it, however had, would become clear that Politico was acting as a "soft" filter here, in favour of Joe Biden, then this is simply not a "neutral" activity but in fact came with a specific goal. This would then be an attempt to influence the opinion of people - think about it this way, random people would find either the original footage, or the shorter variant by Politico, with the problematic parts cut out. But if the people never KNOW the original video footage, then how can they understand the more specific complaints about Joe Biden? Note that this is one SPECIFIC example, but there may be more, also in the future - and it connects to wikipedia indirectly because you need a lot more verification in general (which is another reason why I won't change the main article, due to my possible own bias; it would need people who are not biased either way to make an objective analysis). But IF it is true then what Politico is doing should be viewed more critically in general; that can not be explained "accidentally" if the problematic parts are cut out anymore. This was also why I looked up Politico, to find out more whether they are affiliated with political parties. 2A02:8388:1641:8380:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 15:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
