hate preachers in U.S. media: Rush Limbaugh

“The Arizona sheriff investigating the Tucson shooting that left U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded had harsh words today for those engaging in political rhetoric, calling conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh ‘irresponsible’ for continuing the vitriol,” reported ABC News’s Sarah Netter. “ ‘The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment he is irresponsible, uses partial information, sometimes wrong information,’ Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said today. '[Limbaugh] attacks people, angers them against government, elected officials and angers them against that kind of behavior in my opinion is not without consequences. " "Tobin Harshaw

already shows a superficial comparison of the two articles that they differ significantly. The English version is more comprehensive, which surprised a U.S. hardly keyword. But the English version is also more open in dealing with controversial judgments. One could interpret this to mean that the German Wikipedia-establishment in fear of ideological bias tends to favor the weighted majority ideology of the mainstream media (even by the rule which requires source documents with authority) and relevant aspects in the field the keyword hush best (the rule that POV - point of view - forbidden).

Such formalistic reasoned pursuit of "encyclopedic" writing ultimately produced a "Enzyklosklerose. For, according to an Edit War usually comes into existence on less cumbersome way that is understandable, an article that finally satisfied no one completely, but only for the ordinary reader is still difficult to understand, but no one has the the guts to change decisively, because it would again take time and effort to conduct an Edit Wars.

to political hatred in the U.S. read one columnist Paul Krugman :

"The point is that there's room in a democracy for people who ridicule and denounce those who disagree with them, there is not any place for rhetoric eliminationist , for suggestions that those on the other side of a debate must be removed from that debate by whatever means necessary

And it's the saturation of our political discourse -. and especially our airwaves - rhetoric that lies with eliminationist behind the rising tide of violence.

Where’s that toxic rhetoric coming from? Let’s not make a false pretense of balance: it’s coming, overwhelmingly, from the right. It’s hard to imagine a Democratic member of Congress urging constituents to be “armed and dangerous” without being ostracized; but Representative Michele Bachmann, who did just that, is a rising star in the G.O.P.

And there’s a huge contrast in the media."

Zum Jahrestag der Wikipedia wird in den Medien einhellig von einem "Siegeszug" gesprochen. Darüber wird leicht vergessen, dass man sich auch can conquer death. For not only among companies the problems begin only really when they are really successful. To sustain the organization is usually more challenging than the climb.

In the social theory of the transition from a "primitive Christianity" to a "church" (cf. Hegel's reflections on Judaism and Christianity), on the transition from charismatic authority to bureaucratic routine (Max Weber) in the antiautoritärem Chaotentum "march through the institutions" or generally known for a social movement to political organization always. If within a movement such as Wikipedia, the oligarchic rule of a clique of established has, that is inevitable after Robert Michels .

"The fundamental and indicative ideology of the Wikipedia has changed in the course of the project. The change came from a liberation and production ideology (liberation of knowledge from the copyright, anyone can participate, gathering of world knowledge through the participation of many) toward . to a product ideology (quality of the product, competition with other encyclopedias, primacy of the organization on Participation of all) What is special is that the conversion took place mainly in the few activists - This is caused by the intense confrontation between the activists and the experience that these other made participants (especially so-called vandals and trolls), and you make every day again. The other hand, are less engaged in such debates outside - "official" statements, such as donations to emphasize the earlier liberation ideology. Because of the ideological "split" of Wikipedia ongoing conflicts arise. This finding, which is supported by numerous in a research project lessons learned based, can be at least part of the problem, turning away people and the weak inflow of new employees will be declared.
