Propaganda Today

Wikipedia is full of contradictions and is incoherent. It's notability rules are ill-applied (25% of Wikipedia must be on communism (mainly minor communist politicians), and another 25% on biology). Who cares about some Armenian politician in the 1930s? No other country enjoys the same detail as the the Soviet Union. Who cares about some plant that lives in a certain square mile in a godforsaken part of the world? There are online games with hundreds of players that aren't notable enough for an article, and yet a plant or some politician that only is known by several dozen people is notable?

And now I've come across these two contradicting articles:
Soviet Plot to discredit Hoover and the U.S.
Hoover's Sexuality

Wikipedia is the symbol of free information, and yet it is undersiege by corporations, communists, propagandists, and radicals. There are many examples.
