Wikipedia Blasted For Its Accuracy

The always worthwhile Catherine Lucey chimes in with a little nugget from some anti-assault weapons press conference today:

The pols grew angry when an Inquirer reporter questioned whether the SKS Carbine was a true assault weapon, noting that the National Rifle Association disagreed with the classification and that a search on wikipedia.com would bring up information saying it was not.

Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey then got into the mix. "I don't care about wikipedia or any other kind of pedias," he said. "It it's not an assault weapon by definition, then add it to the freaking list."

Rendell added, "if there's any ambiguity, we will clear it up."

It's good to see the top police officer in Philadelphia has finally come out against the strong anti-'pedia lobby.
