Fox News Busted for Editing Wikipedia Entries for their Own Benefit

Diebold and the CIA aren't the only one's who got in on this action.

Due to a new tool developed by Cal Tech grad student Virgil Griffith, you can now find out exactly who is making edits on Wikipedia. While this news is not very exciting on its own, the fact that Fox News has made dozens of edits for their own benefit, deserves further attention.

From Geeks are Sexy:

So we went ahead and took a look at other changes to Wikipedia allegedly made by the people from the Fox News offices - the changes originating from IP address "12.167.224.228". (Here’s the DNS lookup for 12.167.224.228.) We’ve done the legwork of poring through all the edits and published a comprehensive list below, omitting corrections of minor errors and clarifications of fact, i.e., the innocuous. The following below are clearly anything but, however.

The site has a decent list put together, but I'll just highlight a few of my favorites.

They changed:

O’Reilly’s show, "The O’Reilly Factor", airs on the Fox News Channel at the same time as Olbermann’s show on MSNBC, garnering ratings six times higher than Olbermann’s.

To:

O’Reilly’s show, "The O’Reilly Factor", airs on the Fox News Channel at the same time as Olbermann’s show on MSNBC, garnering ratings ten times higher than Olbermann’s.

In quarter one of 2007, it looks like O'Reilly's ratings were just three times higher (.pdf) than Olbermann's. Ironically, their viewers are also three times older.

Televisions left on in nursing homes really should not count...
