I think that's the point though... Wikipedia at least attempts to solve the byzantine general problem by allowing anyone to edit/review articles... I doubt the same could be said for Encyclopedia Britannica (which I suspect had more than just a little pro-British propaganda in it when it was published). At least with Wikipedia there is some transparency into the editorial process.
By the way, get your shit together NYPD. Use a VPN next time you fascist dinosaurs.

I don't see any basis in your statement in your post or in reality. AFAIK Britannica has been owned by Americans for over a century. It's propagandists include Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, Lord Kelvin, T.E. Lawrence, Douglas McArthur, Bertrand Russell, Carl Sagan, etc.
Would you rather read Einstein's article on Space-Time or the one by random members of the public?
My apologies, sometimes I forget we all come from different backgrounds. But if you start by reading Cecil Rhodes' will and think through what that might mean, you might start to understand why I think it doesn't matter if it is an American company or not.
