Apparently there’s a political war going on to redefine ‘recession’ on Wikipedia…

by The Right Scoop

Wikipedia’s page on ‘recession’ has become the target of a flurry of updates in the last few days as it appears an effort is underway to redefine it.

Gee, I wonder where the updates are coming from…

The White House has been busy.

Here’s a couple of tweets with screenshots attached that show some of the changes. It’s gotten so bad that Wikipedia has had to lock the page down from updates.

 
Now I will say at the time of this post, the most current screenshot of the locked-down Wikipedia does say “two consecutive quarters of decline in a country’s real gross domestic product is commonly used as a practical definition of a recession”:

But you can clearly seen the line “Though there is no global consensus on the definition of a recession…” has been added, given the screenshot from earlier this month where it wasn’t there.

Clearly the White House and their leftist allies are trying to redefine their way out of this recession, but it isn’t going to work. As I suggested earlier people are not stupid. They know prices are up dramatically none of this editing of a Wikipedia page on ‘recession’ is going to change that.

I saw this earlier today and thought this was funny:
