[FBIHOP] By using credible-sounding sources to make sensational and difficult-to-disprove accusations against the opponent, the campaign leverages media tendencies to give the story far more play than it would otherwise receive. Mostly used as a pejorative, the term has gained currency among liberal writers, while its appropriateness as a description of political debate has been questioned by some conservative commentators.OK, as close to the truth as we'll get.

[Roughtype.com] Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Trouble in Wiki Land: Ross Mayfield, another influential wiki-promoter, does rise to Wikipedia's defense, but only by redefining it as something other than an encyclopedia: "I know of no goal of being authoritative, but the group voice that emerges on a page with enough edits (not time) represents a social authority that provides choice for the media literate." Mayfield may not be aware of it, but the Wikipedia community has explicitly stated that one of its goals is to make the encyclopedia "the most authoritative source of information in the world." Its founder, Jimmy Wales, has also made it clear that he "intends that Wikipedia should achieve a 'Britannica or better' quality," according to Wikipedia's entry on itself. Also, I'm not aware of any attempts to restrict access to Wikipedia's content to what Mayfield calls, in a strange but perhaps revealing outburst of elitism, the "media literate."
