Infowars Talk Page[edit]

Hi Mainlymusic1, I see no one has posted here, so I assume you are a new user. In that case, welcome! It's strange, as new users normally get welcomed by a bot. Perhaps it's because you have not yet made an edit(?). I'm new too (recently completed my 100th edit). I saw your thread in the Infowars TP regarding Infowars being called "far-right" and "fake-news". As Slatersteven pointed out, above yours is a thread I created regarding a similar concern (my former username is Intellectual Property Theft). As you can see, that turned into a very heated argument that ended up making its way into my own user TP, where it got a little nasty – more than I or a couple other users should have let it become. I had a similar problem with the Alex Jones page, which was pretty much the same heated argument with mostly the same people. In my several days spent editing WP, I have learned that WP is meant to be an exact reflection of sources. Therefor, if all the reliable sources (RS's) call something "far-right", it's impossible to defend removing it. I agree with you that Infowars would better be classified as Libertarian. Unfortunately, most media sources are obviously biased to the left, so they're certainly going to use that term. However, I believe that "fake news" very blatantly violates the NPOV policy. While some sources refer to Infowars as a "fake news site", most do not use that term. They instead use the term "far-right website". If you read half way through the article, you will find point after point made in favor of removing it. Also see Biographies of living persons If you want to argue in my favor, feel free to add some new points to the thread I created. But, you are extremely unlikely to persuade several of the users who are adamant about having it changed. And be careful. As one user (in my opinion, incorrectly) pointed out to me, there is WP:REHASH. --GDP Growth (talk) 21:58, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
