> Jimbo Wales, in touting the value of overcoming fake news with his new WikiTribune, is without realizing it admitting to the utter corruption of the Wikipedia model.

The author makes this assertion and then quickly moves on. I don't follow it. Can anybody clarify how WikiTribune relates to the author's complaints of Wikipedia?

Sure, WikiTribune uses a soft wiki model in a way that insures reliable reporting. This requires a responsible paid staff while still keeping the collaboration of the outside community in tact.
