Official narrative
RationalWiki's stated missions are:[1][2]
- Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement
- Documenting the full range of crank ideas
- Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism
- Analysis and criticism of how these subjects are handled in the media
Censorship
Although inviting readers to "register and engage in constructive dialogue", RationalWiki appears not to welcome essays critical of RationalWiki[3] or of certain official narratives. For example, it is dismissive of the Journal of 9/11 Studies, terming it, as of 2017, it a "peer- crank-reviewed, online, open source pseudojournal".[4] Its 9/11 page, as of 2017, was organiased as a sequence of (sometimes frivolous) concerns about the 9-11 Official Narrative, and a matching 'rebuttal'.[5] The page history revealed that all contrasting opinion was quickly reverted.[6]
