Metapedia

The Metapedia is the successor to the White Wiki [ RIP ] and growing well. It will never be as big as the Wiki but it is a useful counterbalance. They will not be able to hide the truth so easily.

Metapedia Versus Wikipedia
Two operations mean two versions of the truth. I like the Metapedia. Others definitely do not.

 

The Wikipedia Takes A Position Regarding The Metapedia
It even manages not to sound grossly prejudiced.
QUOTE
Metapedia is a multilingual white nationalist and white supremacist, extreme right-wing online encyclopedia. It was officially launched on October 26, 2006 with the Swedish-language edition. The English section was launched on April 28, 2007. The Hungarian version is the most developed and has by far the most articles: 101,511 as of October 16, 2011.

The site's mission statement states one of its goals is "to present a more balanced and fair image of the pro-European struggle for the general public as well as for academics, who until now have been dependent on strongly biased and hostile 'researchers' like Searchlight, Anti-Defamation League, Southern Poverty Law Center, Simon Wiesenthal Centre, and such." The Metapedia logo features the head of a sculpture ("Youth") by the German artist Arno Breker.

The site has more than 7,000 articles in English and has versions in fifteen European languages. Topics covered include European history, Norse mythology, and white nationalist music. The Register states that "a good percentage of Metapedia's content seems to be dedicated to Woden, the White Order of Thule, runes, and other subject matter which would undoubtedly have found favor with Aryan hocus-pocus aficionado Heinrich Himmler." Crítica de la Argentina says it has glowing descriptions of Adolf Hitler and other Nazi figures. Metapedia's Alexa ranking is 57,309 worldwide.

According to the North Rhine-Westphalian Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Metapedia's articles are characterized by historical revisionism and lauding Nazi Germany. For this reason, the German Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons (Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien) started an indexing process — that is, it is considering declaring Metapedia "harmful to young people".

In early 2007, within half a year of the launching of the original Swedish version, Metapedia received a lot of Swedish media attention for its similarity to Wikipedia and some its contents, in particular for its positive characterization of many Nazi German personalities, for cataloguing Jews in Swedish media, and for characterizing Swedish companies as either "Swedish-owned" or "Jewish-owned". This led to an investigation being initiated in Sweden, in which the Chancellor of Justice (Justitiekanslern) examined whether the site should be prosecuted for inciting hatred or for violating the Privacy Law (Personuppgiftslagen). After reviewing the site's contents, the Chancellor of Justice decided to terminate investigations, since nothing had been found that violated the Freedom of Speech Act (Yttrandefrihetsgrundlagen) or the Privacy Law. In January 2009, in a response to further attention given to the site, the Swedish Chancellor of Justice opined that Metapedia presented a positive image of Adolf Hitler, but decided not to restart an investigation, since this was not illegal.
UNQUOTE
The "Wiki" chooses to allege that the Metapedia tells us whether firms are
"Swedish-owned" or "Jewish-owned". The "inverted commas" are used to imply that the Metapedia is wrong. Naturally the "Wiki" does not explain why. It is writing to make the Metapedia sound bad with out giving reasons i.e. without telling the lie direct.  Barry Krusch tells How To Frame A Patriot.  Barry studies media manipulation.
