Wikipedia Changes Definition Of ‘Recession,’ Locks Page To Cover For POTUS

Wikipedia has long been a weapon in the information battle space against the right and the rational.
The oppressed American people are being lied to deceived, manipulated all in the cause of a destructive, crippling Democrat scheme. Do they even care?

Those of us on the right are long familiar with the malevolent Wiki smear machine. Our pages are are quite  literally smear and defamatory dossiers.

The media’s revisionism was as much aimed at allowing for new “citations” on Wikipedia as convincing people watching.

They’re not really interested in impacting YOU — they’re targeting lazy, low IQ, and low info voters. https://t.co/TveVqD1aT2

Ministry of Truth: Wikipedia Editors Feverishly Change Article on Recessions to Match Biden Talking Points

By: Alum Bokhari, July 29, 2022:

An edit war broke out on Wikipedia this week over the definition of “recession,” as the Biden administration and the corporate media take the unprecedented step of denying the U.S. is in recession even after two consecutive quarters of negative growth. More than 70 edits to the page about recessions were made before the site locked the entry preventing further changes. The edits successfully de-emphasize the broad consensus definition of recession — two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth — instead parroting the Biden Administration’s talking points.

Editors of the leftist-dominated online encyclopedia are pushing a definition of “recession” that is unusually broad and favors the Biden administration’s claims that no recession has occurred. This definition, from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), claims that a recession is a ”significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months.”

What was until recently the broad consensus on the definition of a recession — two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth — remains at the top of the page, but editors have been attempting to remove it. This definition is also described as the United Kingdom’s definition.

In response to the edit war, senior Wikipedia editors have locked the page on recession, preventing users from making further snap edits to it. Articles that become the subject of contentious “edit wars” are often locked in this manner by Wikipedia administrators — but the lock comes after leftists successfully muddied the waters.

The new prominence of the NBER’s definition comes after the Biden administration began citing it in its arguments, backed by a sycophantic media, that the U.S. is not in recession.

Via Breitbart News:

White House advisers have repeatedly refused to define what a recession is, but they frequently cite the definition outlined by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

The Republican National Committee also dug up old quotes from Biden’s other economic adviser.

In May, Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers Cecilia Rouse said during a CNN interview  that “Typically, economists date a recession as being at least two quarters of negative growth, and other factors, which we have not seen at all.”

That NBER definition is now littered throughout the Wikipedia page on recessions.
