Thread:Comments:Despite defectors, U.S. electoral college affirms Trump presidency/Kudos for an objective article

I would like to express personal appreciation for an objective article on a subject which has been characterized by endless hype in other electronic news media.

Wikimedia Foundation projects such as wikinews are maintaining and daily improving a well-earned reputation for accuracy and objectivity in reporting. It can safely be said in most cases that anyone interested in the most objective account of a current event ought to go to wikinews and wikipedia first.

I don't assert we're objective in every single case, or that the first version of a wiki article's always NPOV, but I do say that (unlike most of the other electronic media) we have an active, adversarial in-house mechanism to assure as close to a neutral point of view in our articles as human beings can provide. No other electronic news medium appears to be doing that. In particular, the Washington Post and New York Times have a chronic problem both with separating editorial comment from news content, and with assuring accuracy of their reporting (as the Jayson Blair incident shows).

I think wikinews ought to be better known and promoted as an objective news source - specifically because more care is taken here to eliminate political and other bias in reporting than in other electronic news media.
