One of my cardinal rules is to ALWAYS question ALL authority. Without a vigilant critical perspective you are slowly buried in layers of tiny seemingly harmless propaganda through life that adds up to a substantially corrupted vision on many issues. The difference is that Wikipedia is meant to strive for a non-biased point-of-view in article construction. The key word here is "striving". Perfection can't ever be achieved, but you need a solid arsenal of defences against corruption. When is this not the case? One of my cardinal rules is to ALWAYS question ALL authority.
