Sharyl Attkisson noticed that Wikipedia has been using her retweets as proof of what she believes. As anyone who uses Twitter knows, sometimes you retweet things you may not agree with or endorse in order to have a bigger conversation.
1-Weirdly, @Wikipedia agenda editors use what I RT as supposed "proof" of "what I believe" — even though my profile makes clear I RT all kinds of things from ridiculous to interesting to outrageous with no endorsement implied.

We agree with Sharyl, it’s either Wiki being lazy OR looking for ways to push an agenda.
Their agenda.
Just remember: there are great, well meaning @Wikipedia editors. Too often they are outmatched by the @Wikipedia agenda editors who break all of their own rules with impunity. That’s what’s hurt the website so much. https://t.co/oLZwmHSSFR

Sharyl does such a good job here, pointing out that not all Wiki editors have an agenda which shows she’s working very hard not to be biased.
Unlike this Wikimedian … don’t make that face, it’s what the bio says.
So would you like me to put your birth certificate on the fifth most popular website in the world? We're protecting the privacy of living people, you dolt.

Umm, what?
Someone’s stripes are showing.
Now, now. Your stripes are showing. ? PS Believe it or not, documents are shown for verification almost every day here on Planet Earth without being posted publicly. Things work a little differently when you get outside Wikipedia World. Perhaps you should get out more often. https://t.co/xBWry2DdTT

Perhaps he or she should get out more often.
This editor would second Sharyl’s sentiments but the ‘Wikimedian’ has her blocked.
Sad.

Suuure, her followers are the nutty ones.
As if we needed more proof of the very bias that Sharyl is talking about.
(Nobody here is buying what you’re selling.) However, you are providing an instructive demonstration in attempted propaganda tactics #Classic as described in #TheSmear chapter 4. Please continue. https://t.co/deHB8MTkMo

Impressive that you managed to work in another plug for your book.
