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.

Would you like to see evidence that @MaxBlumenthal has written for the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times? Here you are.

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.
This is what @MaxBlumenthal's @Wikipedia article looks like after "#PhilipCross" has finished with this aspect of it, side by side with the earlier version for comparison.
As of this evening, casual readers of @Wikipedia cannot learn that nasty anti-Western crank @MaxBlumenthal has actually published articles in the NYT and the Los Angeles Times, only in ugly left media. That's narrative management. Thanks for reading!

Addendum: @wikipedia editor "Philip Cross" doesn't like me, but he does continually monitor my Twitter account. I believe this kind of retrospective hasty adjustment could be adjudged "evidence of consciousness of guilt". @MaxBlumenthal

Ah, I did wonder about the fact that this retrospective hasty adjustment can't in fact be seen on the face of the article. I thought that might be a glitch because it's the last edit added.

"Philip Cross" now says it is a "concealed note", so this tweet is still true.
This note clearly demonstrates "Philip Cross"'s peculiar view of @Wikipedia and why he should not be let near Wikipedia at all. Because he thinks @MaxBlumenthal hates the mainstream media, he excises the reader's right to know that MB has written for it.

Wikipedia administration idiot-in-chief User:JzG [Guy] blunders into the Philip Cross BLP discussion with irrelevant and insulting remarks and a heap of blatant prejudice. How this person ever got to be a @Wikipedia admin is a mystery.

"Being attacked by a subject of an article you've already edited doesn't constitute a COI."? Yes, fine. What Philip Cross has done is the exact reverse - gone and edited the @timand2037 and @AbbyMartin articles in a hostile manner *after* their tweets regarding him.
Even Philip Cross supporter NedFausa is disturbed by this behaviour. It is also at present an action for which Philip Cross has not even attempted a defence.

REPOST. Okay. So I had a closer look at this "report", including following the hyperlinks. I'd like the University and others to pay particular attention to this paragraph. @EdinburghUni

@Tim_Hayward_ @PiersRobinson1 @Tracking_Power @McCormack_Tara @MaxBlumenthal @KitKlarenberg
There are at least four things wrong with this. Firstly, the words "has also claimed on his blog" include a hyperlink. That link does not, in fact, go to Tim Hayward's blog. @EdinburghUni

@Tim_Hayward_ @PiersRobinson1 @Tracking_Power @McCormack_Tara @MaxBlumenthal @KitKlarenberg
That's deceitful, giving the incorrect impression that the link goes to Professor Hayward's own words. Instead, it goes to the notorious Times article of 14 April 2018. @EdinburghUni

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.
