Once again, the so-called “guardians of truth” on Wikipedia have failed at their one job: spreading real facts. After a recent World Cup match between Argentina and Egypt, a wave of anger directed at referee Francois Letexier was whipped up into a frenzy. And just when honest viewers thought it couldn’t get more absurd, Wikipedia let a flat-out hoax spread across its pages, labeling Letexier as Jewish. Never mind that there was no evidence—just one more case of Wikipedia letting unverified garbage define someone’s identity for the world to see.
This is what happens when Big Tech and global elitists try to run the internet like their own propaganda machine. Even though Wikipedia supposedly had “protections” in place—locks to keep outsiders from editing—the smear still made it, sticking around for a shocking eight hours and picking up steam. Either their security is a joke, or they’re playing favorites. Maybe both.
The real danger is that the false information exploded on social media within minutes. People actually believed it, sharing it everywhere. By the time Wikipedia’s editors finally woke up and deleted the lies, it was too late—the damage had been done. Of course, then came the next chapter of chaos: people online accused Wikipedia of covering up the “truth,” dragging this trainwreck even further. The left always likes to brag about how it’s fighting misinformation, but here is the digital equivalent of leaving the front door wide open and blaming the neighbors when trouble comes in.
What’s worse, liberal institutions like Wikipedia love to claim they are above bias. But every time a story threatens their narrative or exposes their incompetence, they try to sweep it out of sight. Instead of fixing their broken systems, they scramble to “lock pages” and censor anyone who questions their authority. It’s hard to believe these are the same people who think they should police what the rest of us are allowed to say.
Americans should be asking: How many more times will we let these left-wing gatekeepers decide what’s real? If this is the best the self-appointed experts can do, it’s time to start questioning everything the so-called “trusted” online sources publish. Who’s watching the fact-checkers?
