The New York Times Cites Wikipedia · 76 words posted 05/08/2006 09:03 AM
In today’s Times, Paul Krugman writes (registration required):
A conspiracy theory, says Wikipedia, “attempts to explain the cause of an event as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance.” Claims that global warming is a hoax and that the liberal media are suppressing the good news from Iraq meet that definition.
Leaving aside the politics of the piece, is this the first time the Times has cited Wikipedia as a source of information?
