I agree 100% with Ms Maher's views here.

But I would like to warn her about a present danger to Wikipedia.

The Wikipedia model of uncritical reliance on published media sources has left it vulnerable to abuse in
the various situations where main stream media collude to mislead the public.  Partisans and ideologues winnow the media, readily finding 'sources' that sustain their prevarications.  Wiki editors don't have the time or resources to fact check and the result is falsehood entering the public mind.
