Wikipedia can be manipulated, but there is a sort of "review board" that
watches
over much of the content. I've read where malicious changes are pretty quickly
corrected.
BTW, how did you pick the Cincinnati Enquirer? Are you from Cincinnati?

"The role of the judge is limited; the judge is to decide the cases before
them; they're not to legislate; they're not to execute the laws... Judges don't
have a license to go out and decide, 'I think this is an injustice and so I'm
going to do something to fix it.' That type of judicial role, I think, is
inconsistent with the role the Framers intended."
