I find the video clip of the Cobert Report to be humorous. It definitely got some laughs out of me. Cobert defines wikiality as "together we can create a reality that we can all agree on-the reality we just agreed on". It's interesting that possibly any kind of reality can be created with enough people agreeing to it and also to be published.
Though wikipedia is so covient and easy to access, it's not such a reliable source to use. Sometimes depending on what topic of your research there are some accurate facts, often times it isn't so. After reading the article "A Stand Against Wikipedia", I decided to do a little research of my own on what wikipedia is or what it means. My findings are quite interesting. "Wiki" is a website that can easily be edited by anyone who has access to it and it could be easily tampered with. And "wikipedia" is one of the well known website used by students. Wikipedia, itself, has agree that students should not use wikipedia as thier primary source.

I agree with "Wikipedia's Official Statement" of not using Wikipedia as the primary source for reasearch purposes because you really don't know who is writing this seemingly educational article. Guess it goes to show you that "Yah can't always trust what yah read!" (I dont quite know what accent I was writing/thinking in - perhaps it should be read with a southern accent). However, it is definitely comforting that millions of people are cross-checking articles every day and improving them.... definition of efficiency!
it's like we discussed in class. the difference between me writing an article on polar pears on wikipedia and a PhD Arctic Biologist is just the degree. the knowledge and experience may be the same, but then who would you trust more?
