We are told as Media students not to use Wikipedia for research and perhaps the Independent this morning shows us why
According to the paper
BBC officials repeatedly altered the Wikipedia internet encyclopaedia to water down attacks on the corporation.
An investigation of "anonymous" edits on the site has revealed that the broadcaster's staff rewrote parts of a page entitled "Criticism of the BBC" to defuse press attacks on "political correctness". Also included in more than 7,000 Wikipedia edits by BBC workers are unflattering references to rival broadcasters – and even the corporation's biggest names.
So 16 days of the year to go and how many more BBC revelations can we fit in
