#75 Wikipedia · The Internet’s Biggest Gaslight
Description
They told us Wikipedia was the “free encyclopedia anyone can edit.”
What they didn’t tell us is how it edits you back.
In this episode of Think First, Jim Detjen pulls apart the myth of Wikipedia’s neutrality — exposing how “fringe” labels erase arguments, how intelligence agencies treat it like a propaganda shop, and why Tucker Carlson was left stunned when co-founder Larry Sanger admitted just how compromised the site has become.
This isn’t just about a website.
It’s about the funhouse mirror shaping classrooms, headlines, and even the AI models now writing your future.
Dry wit included. Gaslights spotted. Poetic truths exposed.
Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. #SpotTheGaslight
