HBO’s ‘38 At The Garden’ Is One Big Lie Of Omission About Asian Hate
Jeremy Lin deserves better than ‘38 at the Garden.' Asian Americans do, too.Jeremy Lin deserves better than ‘38 at the Garden.' Asian Americans do, too.Wikipedia cofounder makes STARTLING admission about the worlds largest research portal
Wikipedia is the number one research tool in the world, with over 18-billion views a month.
But what if everything thought you knew about Wikipedia was wrong? Is the platform made for the viewer? Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger believes that Wikipedia pushes an agenda with its articles rather than serving the truth to the masses.
"When we are getting the news, or when we are learning, or when we are trying to get some basic information, we being free individuals want to make up our own minds. If we don't, then there is something wrong with us. In fact, in situations where this happens, it is called propaganda when it is systematic," Larry said during an interview with LockdownTV from UnHerd.Larry continued, "And that is what we are dealing with on Wikipedia ... If only one version of the facts is allowed, then that gives a huge incentive to wealthy and powerful people to seize control of things like Wikipedia in order to sure up their power."
In this video, Steven Crowder and Dave Landau discussed the several week-long experiments that tested Wikipedia's bias. But first, some debunking is in order.
Crowder established that Wikipedia describes itself as a free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. But to the contrary, Crowder noted that some pages required that editors meet specific criteria. Ironically, or not so ironically, Steven Crowder's Wikipedia page cannot be edited by just anyone. Crowder's Wikipedia page is classified to have semi-protected status.
Semi-protected status means that editor accounts must have at least 10-successful edits for them to make acceptable edits. The COVID-19 and Joe Biden Wikipedia pages have extended protection status to put this in context. This means that editor accounts must be 30-days old and have 500-successful edits. The COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China has a full-protection status, meaning that only accounts with administrator status can make edits. Crowder explained that only 1000 accounts have administrator status.
Wikipedia editors are supposed to be neutral. Crowder took the Wikipedia Neutrality Quiz to find out what it takes to be an editor. Right out of the gate, the quiz provided an example of an article on Mao Zedong — the Chinese communist leader infamous for policies that led to an estimated 40 million people dying of starvation. According to the quiz, to say that Mao had "cruel disregard for the lives of his citizens is an opinion and should not be stated as a fact."
"Didn't Mao have a torture chamber?" Crowder recalled. Watch the clip to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Terrifying video shows moment Good Samaritan is pistol-whipped trying to stop robbers from battering elderly Asian man
An alarming video shows a brazen robbery being committed in the middle of the day in Oakland. The terrifying video shows cowardly thugs targeted an elderly Asian man who needed the assistance of a cane to walk down the street. When a good Samaritan attempted to stop the robbers from beating the old man, he, too, was bludgeoned in broad daylight.
At approximately 3:15 pm on Thursday, two robbers attacked an elderly Asian man on 9th Street in Oakland's Chinatown. The thieves, one of which was armed, shoved the old man to the ground and robbed him at gunpoint. The armed man pistol-whipped the elderly man, according to a statement released by the Oakland Police Department. The elderly man can be heard bellowing in pain. The old man's cane can be seen on the ground in the video that was taken by a witness in a nearby building.
Another individual, who appears to be wearing a bicycle helmet, attempted to thwart the robbery, but he too is beaten to the ground. The gunman pistol-whipped the good Samaritan in the face with a handgun equipped with an extended magazine. The man fell to the sidewalk, and the blow appeared to be so devastating that part of the helmet flew apart.
The robbers fled from the crime scene in a getaway vehicle that was driven by a third suspect.
The Oakland Police Department described the attackers as "two individuals as black males in their 20's." Police did not have a description of the getaway driver.
Authorities said an investigation is ongoing, and asked the public to give any information related to the attack to investigators at (510) 238-3326.

2 Pistol-Whipped in Brazen Daytime Robbery in Oakland www.youtube.com
This is the second horrifying robbery from the Oakland area that garnered national headlines this week. In nearby Emeryville, cell phone footage from a witness showed two women attacked in a California parking garage in broad daylight. The women were seen being robbed as they screamed for help. The attackers stole the belongings of the women and the rental car they were traveling in.
Oakland's City Council voted to reallocate $18 million of police funding to community violence prevention programs last month. Ironically, only days after the announcement that the Oakland Police Department would be defunded, a TV crew were robbed of their equipment while interviewing Oakland's violence prevention director on the steps of City Hall.
At a press conference on June 28, Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said the murder rate in the California city is 90% higher than it was this time last year. Armstrong also noted that shootings at up more than 70% and carjackings have spiked by 87% this year, plus there have been 1,300 robberies recorded this year so far.
