IMO Epik Is Neutral but because US mainstream media is for the most-part not neutral but far-left, when Epik supports something that is far-right they see a story.
I can see an argument when comparing Epik board member(s).
One CEO appears to cater to the right.
The other board member appears to
cater towards a different direction.
So if you consider left + right = neutral then perhaps lead with equal sides?
News stories about Epik's innovations for example would be nice, but without a good RP person to show why its a worthwhile story, such will be ignored.
"If you build it, they will come."
There are several Epik stories that could be garner news attention. But vouching for somebody /somecompany who came across as an ambulance chaser to the far right is going to take a leap of faith, or solid conviction.
If we are talking about being embarrassed, I'm embarrassed by the political division in the US. (And not so much about being an Epik customer).
I don't want to turn this into a list what you're embarrassed about thread. We can create a new thread for that if need be. Alternatively there is the nP political thread for politics discussion.
Though, to answer your question regarding the embarrassment of a US divide. Yes, I absolutely feel it. It makes me feel less United. But what really eats at my core is the racist or insensitive message one political side seems to be polarizing. Fact is, every US state is different. And each state seemingly faces their own unique racial challenges. Heck, it can be broken down to neighborhood streets in some areas. So zoom out a bit, if I consider myself an American, does that mean I embody a little bit of each US state? Does that mean I embody the view point of the ever-changing federal government? Can I chose to side with the supreme court over the President? And when did I become so significant enough that I should be engaging to the point of choosing sides? I think that's why nP has the political threads, for rants like this paragraph.
Rant aside, I don't think I'm significant enough to help ease the embarrassment of the US division. And at the end of the day, I'm proud to be a US citizen. Being an American means much more to me than being an Epik customer.
Though, regarding the Epik/Wikipedia divide, I think that's a much more manageable task. My immediate future is uncertain, but if I can find the time, I'm going to do a deep breakdown on all registrar Wikipedia articles to demonstrate the clear multiple points of bias.
I expect an uphill battle if I join wiki and engage with Wikipedia mods. There seems to be lots of curve balls to entry points that go against the grain of others. But to allow journalists to write the history books without the input from the boots on the ground, well then, how accurate will that account be?
My point being, that Wikipedia article needs changing. Just as Molly deserves a sincere apology from Rob.
