Jimbo happens to mention the New York Times' own Wikipedia-suck-up, Noam Cohen
here.
The thing is, when Noam Cohen publishes something in the New York Times, that's it. It's not open to "community" revision the way a Wikipedia article is.
So, when Jimbo is ranting about how awful it would be if paid editors started manipulating the content on Wikipedia on behalf of a specific client, he fails to remember that other paid editors (perhaps for the labor union fighting that client, or a non-profit cause that works against the client's track record) are also at liberty to go and "undo" all of the first paid editor's work.
He just doesn't grasp that Wikipedia is awful, regardless of his stance on paid editing, because whether you "ban" it or not, it's always going to be there. He is so dumb.
