The Agency has been covertly "moderating" that online encyclopedia for over ten years, according to a former editor
As a mere attentive reader, I’d say the CIA has been manipulating Wikipedia for even longer (maybe from the start?), since it was some fifteen years ago that I looked up Philip Agee’s entry, and found that it was nothing but a tissue of the propaganda smears that CIA pumped out in 1975 (and ever since), in fierce (covert) response to Agee’s indispensable Behind the Company: CIA Diary. (For those interested in that attack, and Agee’s many other punishments for authoring that book, I’d skip that Wikipedia entry, and, instead, read Agee’s memoir On the Run.)
So when Wikipedia “revised” the entry on myself, sometime in 2021 (I think it was), to make it even nastier and more deceptive, I was not surprised. While it had not been flattering from the start, it was now poisonously amplified with tidbits from the slanders that my department colleagues used to tried to get me fired from NYU, and that echoed and re-echoed in the media (including the Chronicle of Higher Education).

Wikipedia on myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Crispin_Miller
So now we have some inside confirmation of the CIA’s involvement in that online resource, which therefore can’t be trusted for an accurate account of any subject that the CIA wants all the rest of us to “know” as they, and the high interests that they serve, prefer.

Once I learned that Obama had nullified the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act that forbade propagandizing the American public, (slipped into the 2013 NDAA) I have assumed all msm to be propaganda. Why else legalize it? Since we now live in an upside down nation it is safe to assume that for anything we hear or read in msm the precise opposite is true. and was drafted by the CIA, our current rulers.
I wish I'd given you the $10 dollars I gave to wikipedo 10 years ago.
