One of the lesser lights of Israel's hydra-headed propaganda golem in the US -- CAMERA  -- has been caught out and exposed making  a ham-handed effort to organize "volunteers" to edit systematicaly various entries about the Middle East in Wikipedia.

Ironic, is it not, that an org named the Committe for Accurate Reporting on the Middle East in America could be so little concerned with accuracy and so much concerned with insuring the primacy of Israel's narrative?  In a supposed reference work? Which could be presumed to be neutral/objective?  Gosh, no; not me.   I can on;y wait for the inevitable attempt at a salvage job by the evil twins of The Israel Lobby, Alan Dershowitz and Abe Foxman.

Anyhow, I don't think Wikipedia counts as reporting in the same way that your local tabloid or broadsheet counts as reporting [unless, or course, you are blessed with one of Rupert Murdoch's print media properties, in which case "blessed" should not be understood literally].
