TG5 and Wikipedia

2 January 2011 the 20:00 edition of TG5 aired a highly critical report accusing Wikipedia of being an 'ideological encyclopedia, which pretends to be free but asks for money to users', stating that 'historical facts cannot be modified, so the teachers and librarians across the world invited to be suspicious'. Report closed with the narrating voice saying 'Always better the dear old encyclopedia'.
