:::::We're done with considering whether or not to add to the article allegations that Obama is close to William Ayers - what Stephanopoulos' "few questions" seems to refer to.  We decided not to add it.  Otolemur crassicaudatus asks a well-meaning but somewhat off-the-subject question, why don't we have any criticism about Obama in his biography.  The answer is threefold - first, we do; second, the article as it now exists reflects the participation over a long period of a lot of editors, who have collectively edited the article in incremental fashion; and third, when editing, we have engaged in the encyclopedic practice of considering each fact on its own merits for whether it is verifiable, on topic, neutrally presented, of appropriate weight, and so on - we don't decide on a particular level of positive or negative bias to show the article subject then adjust the prose to match.  An editor asking a good-faith question like that is entitled to a straight answer, not to be told that there is some "machine" that is supposedly running Wikipedia.
