Wikipedia redefines 'recession' to resemble Biden's changes—then locks page to new edits
Media Bias,Recession,Inflation,Wikipedia Bias
Wikipedia changed the definition of recession on their website to fit the Biden administration's redefined language. Wikipedia then locked the page preventing individuals from updating the website, which is a tool that Wikipedia has long provided.
The White House changed the definition of "recession" last week ahead of the release of Thursday's economic report, which showed that the US has had two consecutive quarters of declining GDP. This was the standard definition, but the White House declared that the definition should be tied more closely to unemployment numbers.
"Wikipedia changed the definition of recession to favor the Biden regime, and then locked the page," Mike Cernovich said on Twitter after having noticed the change.
On the Wiki page that provides the definition of a "recession," a message pops up when an attempt is made to edit the information, reading: "This page is protected to prevent vandalism."
