It seems that AP, the news agency that almost anyone can edit, has introduced a Special:Recentchanges feature for Wikipedia edits.

Jeepers, we've come a long way. A couple of odd edits to a Wikipedia article is now AP news?

Err, to clarify: a couple of non-libellous, apparently factual (the problems were simply "emphasised" - we haven't heard that they were actually false) edits are news? This is a new step. Inaccuracies have been reported before, but mild breaches of NPOV, I don't think so...
