David Shankbone has accused journalist Seth Finkelstein of having a conflict of interest in reporting on Wikipedia and Jimbo Wales. According to Shankbone, Seth has a negative bias towards Wikipedia. Shankbone is even planning on contacting other journalists to report Seth's "conflict of interest."

Shankbone's gone to new lows.

David Miller (who calls himself "David Shankbone") is an amateur writer and photographer who labors under the warped delusion that he is a serious journalist because his work appears on a web site with an acute reputation for woefully inaccurate content maintained by a ragtag bunch of teenagers, dilettantes and Guy Chapman. I couldn't possibly be interested in anything that the increasingly ridiculous Mr. Miller has to say.

Well.....just bear in mind, the Israelis seem to like him.

And don't forget this Haaretz article, which practically makes Shankers out to be a shill.

"Wikipedia deals with a wide variety of topics, so bringing David Shankbone to Israel can have an effective result," says Saranga, who serves as the consul for media and public affairs.
