Robby Soave, one of the hosts, of "The Hill Rising" channel normally has a smarmy vibe going on just below the surface. However, on a recent discussion about Joe Rogan's interview with Dr. Peter McCullough on his podcast, Soave's smarminess went through the roof when he admitted he that didn't know much about McCullough so he consulted his Wikipedia page. This led Soave to conclude authoritatively that McCullough said some things that are supposedly not true. Soave then defended his ridiculous reliance on Wikipedia by stating that  "Wikipedia is generally pretty accurate" as if that settled the argument.

Well, if you exclude everything political and all historical people and events not targeted by race-baiting activists ... maybe. But that's a very substantial exclusion, and I did accidentally find an error recently in their article about the Novavax Covid vaccine.
If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

And yet, I joined Wikipedia about a month ago, because I was seeing so much wrong with it.
