USATODAY.com - A false Wikipedia 'biography'

USATODAY.com - A false Wikipedia 'biography': "A false Wikipedia 'biography'
By John Seigenthaler
'John Seigenthaler Sr. was the assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy in the early 1960's. For a brief time, he was thought to have been directly involved in the Kennedy assassinations of both John, and his brother, Bobby. Nothing was ever proven.'

— Wikipedia

This is a highly personal story about Internet character assassination. It could be your story.

I have no idea whose sick mind conceived the false, malicious 'biography' that appeared under my name for 132 days on Wikipedia, the popular, online, free encyclopedia whose authors are unknown and virtually untraceable. There was more:

'John Seigenthaler moved to the Soviet Union in 1971, and returned to the United States in 1984,' Wikipedia said. 'He started one of the country's largest public relations firms shortly thereafter.'"
