So. Whatever anyone may think of him, @MaxBlumenthal has published articles in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. This is indisputable fact.
As these are prestigious journals, his @Wikipedia article, not unnaturally, mentioned them. See here.

This is, apparently, not good enough for @Wikipedia narrative manager "Philip Cross". He doesn't want anyone to know from Wikipedia that nasty anti-Western crank @MaxBlumenthal has in fact written for prestigious mainstream media publications. So he deletes the details.
I've been looking a little more closely at #PhilipCross's recent antics regarding the @guardian article on Paul Manafort and Julian Assange on @Wikipedia.
I vaguely recall that Mr Cross is highly protective of the Guardian, for some reason. Maybe others can help me on that.

The @wikipedia article Mr Cross is editing on this is that of @ggreenwald, a U.S. writer. However, the Guardian is a British newspaper, reporters are British, and the Embassy involved is in London. It therefore could not be clearer that this is a ban violation from Mr Cross.
To begin with, I will simply present the original paragraph and Mr Cross's edited version, side by side.
