            <title>Wikipedia, YouTube:  A Left-Wing Conspiracy?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><embed FlashVars='config=http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/xml/data_synd.jhtml?vid=89307%26myspace=false' src='http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/syndicated_player/index.jhtml' quality='high' bgcolor='#006699' width='340' height='325' name='comedy_player' align='middle' allowScriptAccess='always' allownetworking='external' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer'></embed></p>

<p>Frustrated by an alleged liberal bias on <a href="http://www.YouTube.com">YouTube</a> and <a href="http://www.Wikipedia.com">Wikipedia</a>, Republicans have teamed up to launch conservative alternatives to the popular sites. </p>

<p>But the GOP-friendly <a href="http://www.qubetv.tv/">QubeTV</a>  and <a href="http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page">Conservapedia</a> haven't exactly impressed comedian <strong>Lewis Black</strong>. In a guest spot on "<a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/index.jhtml">The Daily Show</a>" this week, Black blasted the idea that YouTube and Wikipedia, sites that accept contributions from anyone, are part of a vast liberal conspiracy. </p>

<p>To make his point, he noted that nearly all of the videos on QubeTV, including one comparing Democratic Sen. <strong>Barack Obama</strong> to al Qaeda leader <strong>Osama bin Laden</strong>, are also on YouTube.  "In other words, the conservative alternative to YouTube is YouTube," Black said. </p>

<p>The disrespect is mutual, apparently. The entry for "<a href="http://www.conservapedia.com/The_Daily_Show">The Daily Show</a>" at Conservapedia says the comedians "show a liberal bias" and notes that "some believe" that host <strong>Jon Stewart</strong> demeans conservative positions on gun rights, abortion and Christianity. It also claims that Stewart "often mocks" the war in Iraq -- an accusation that surely isn't a laughing matter. -- <em>Michael Martinez</em></p>]]></description>
