Rewriting history: what leftist journalists do in their spare time?

Apparently so!
Now that we can see who some of the no-longer anonymous Wiki Whacky Editors are, we're finding out that some of them are journalists.

According to Biased BBC, employees at the Beeb are responsible for some 7,000 anonymous edits, including one page in which the word "terrorists" was revised to "freedom fighters." On another page, a BBC employee inappropriately changed President Bush's middle name.

Is anyone surprised? Anyone?

This is one of the many reasons why citing a Wiki source is asking for trouble.
