Talk:19 January 2006 Osama bin Laden tape
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Sources
This site is a JOKE.
Who here thinks that Prisonplanet, WhatReallyHappened, and Information Clearing House are reliable sources? [1]--Jersey Devil 05:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Clearly they are not reliable sources for information about reality. I would have said they were reliable sources for what conspiracists think, but I'm no longer entirely convinced of even that. Tom Harrison Talk 14:43, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Label us as "conspiracists" if you want, i call it "realists", but to answer your question: yes, they are a reliable source for what themselves thinks and also for what those subscribing to their view think.--Striver 15:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- Check out some more information Alex Jones gives us. Using him as a source for an encyclopedia? Uh-oh... I'd say he has less credibility than some Joe Q. Random's blog. Conspiracy theories sell, and Mr. Jones is a pro. (But I'm only saying this because I'm one of the secret immortal rulers of the world and Mr. Jones uncovered our plan to kill 80% of the world population. Foolish of us to leave our plans on our secret web sites for him to find!) Weregerbil 15:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- "Conspiracy theories sell" This is why I'm not sure these sites are most representative of what conspiracy theorists are saying. I'm afraid those who are best at self-promotion are over-represented.
- "I'm only saying this because I'm one of the secret immortal rulers..." No doubt that's what you'd like us to think. Tom Harrison Talk 16:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
And now even with a consensus reached in the talk page the user continues to revert to add his own POV.--Jersey Devil 17:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
I notice the title of this article is a bit misleading, as two tapes have been published in 2006. The one the article refers to, and another on the 23rd of April. Just FYI
[edit] Merge
I moved some content to the more comprehensive article Videos of Osama bin Laden. Otto 22:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
