Supreme Court judges battling Wikipedia “trolls,” GOP presidential debate “strategies”
A couple of weird political stories both out of Wisconsin and nationally, as UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, joins La Crosse Talk PM in studio Friday.
La Crosse Talk PM airs weekdays at 5:06 p.m. Listen on the WIZM app, online here, or on 92.3 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska). Find all the podcasts here or subscribe to La Crosse Talk PM wherever you get your podcasts.
The first of those is Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley battling with online users on updating her Wikipedia page. She’s, apparently, trying to keep controversial things she’s said in the past off that page.
Also, with the Republican presidential debate coming up in Milwaukee on Wednesday, we talk about some of the leaked strategies the nominees are looking to use on stage, including some very strange ones from Ron DeSantis.
And, back to the state Supreme Court, we chat about Republicans already floating impeachment of Justice Janet Protasiewicz, the same month she began her term, after being elected last April.
In between there, we took a break from politics — sort of — to chat about what if a “regular Joe” took part in each Olympic event, as that seemed to happen in a 100-meter race at the World University Games.

It appears the justice is trying to rewrite her pass, and practice censorship, and this is the type of judge you voted for. It appears she like to relive Germanys pass from 1935 to 1945

The problem you have with Wikipedia is it can often “select” the news it prefers, rather than explain in detail what the different opinions are. For whatever reason the Wikipedia community does like to give definitive answers and what that leads to is completely ignoring one side of the argument. When thats political, entire parties can feel pushed out. So this comes as no surprise.
