Looks like FoxNews has been caught editing Wikipedia in an effort to smear rivals and to spin content. Apparently the FoxNews folks, who have the lowest educated audience in broadcasting, hires "to market".
I am guessing they did not pay attention to their own story about the WWE wrestler who's Wiki site was modified prior to his wife's murder and that the editor was tracked by his IP address. The Clueless @ Fox didn't even wear gloves. Gotta love the honesty. Fair and balanced.

Call Stephen Colbert, whose “Wikiality” has entered reality.
There are a few news stories breaking about people editing Wikipedia - including the CIA, Diebold, and U.S. Congressional Offices.
O’Reilly Media (the techie O’Reilly) has come out with information detailing that Fox News has been changing entries on Wikipedia as well - including one on Al Franken’s case with Bill O’Reilly (the caustic O’Reilly).
So we went ahead and took a look at other changes to Wikipedia allegedly made by the people from the Fox News offices - the changes originating from IP address “12.167.224.228“. (Here’s the DNS lookup for 12.167.224.228.) We’ve done the legwork of poring through all the edits and published a comprehensive list below, omitting corrections of minor errors and clarifications of fact, i.e., the innocuous. The following below are clearly anything but, however.
Below, you’ll find changes that were made by IP address 12.167.224.228, which resolves to Fox News. Changes are to the articles “Keith Olbermann”, “Chris Wallace”, “Carl Cameron”, “Brit Hume”, “Shepard Smith”, “Al Franken”, “Brian Wilson”, “CNN”, and “Greta Van Susteren”.
