Yes, you can download the transcript when you sign in. Barring that I can
post it right here:
Thanks for your help!

1
0:0:3,100 --> 0:0:6,000
Oh, is it an authoritative source?
2
0:0:6,100 --> 0:0:9,000
A librarian would say it's not an authoritative source, because it's on the
web.
3
0:0:9,100 --> 0:0:12,000
They say: Oh no, we didn't mean that, there is stuff on the web that's
authoritative...
4
0:0:12,100 --> 0:0:15,000
It's not an authoritative source, because it's not peer-reviewed.
5
0:0:15,100 --> 0:0:17,000
Oh wait, we didn't mean that, it's obviously peer-reviewed.
6
0:0:17,100 --> 0:0:19,000
But, they're not peers we like.
7
0:0:21,100 --> 0:0:25,000
We built the 17th most popular website on the Internet.
8
0:0:25,100 --> 0:0:27,000
How have we done this? You've done it.
9
0:0:27,100 --> 0:0:30,000
I've done it. We've all done it as volunteers.
10
0:0:30,100 --> 0:0:33,000
Updated, in real time, by all of its readers.
11
0:0:33,100 --> 0:0:39,000
The problem, of course, with Wikipedia, is that anyone can put their two
cents in, and they do.
12
0:0:39,100 --> 0:0:43,000
Wikipedia empowers people, they become authors of their content.
13
0:0:43,100 --> 0:0:45,000
This is the Colbert Report!
14
0:0:45,100 --> 0:0:48,000
You see, any user can change any entry,
15
0:0:48,100 --> 0:0:52,000
and if enough users agree with them, it becomes true.
16
0:0:54,100 --> 0:0:57,000
... compared an article from Wikipedia with Britannica,
17
0:0:57,100 --> 0:1:1,000
4 errors in Wikipedia and 3 in Britannica.
18
0:1:1,100 --> 0:1:5,000
The more eyeballs, the more people are able to fix things more quickly.
19
0:1:5,100 --> 0:1:10,000
One moron and two CIA bureaucrats destroyed everything I had created.
20
0:1:10,100 --> 0:1:15,000
The vandals, the trolls, the people who put in purposely misleading content.
21
0:1:15,100 --> 0:1:20,000
They degrade Wikipedia's quality and its credibility, and we try to put a
stop to it.
22
0:1:23,100 --> 0:1:28,000
It has a huge community element like you're part of a very big family.
23
0:1:28,100 --> 0:1:32,000
There's also a group of people who have an elitist edge to them.
24
0:1:32,100 --> 0:1:37,000
They like the difficulty of the technology, because it keeps people out.
25
0:1:37,100 --> 0:1:38,000
We are all working together for this.
26
0:1:38,100 --> 0:1:42,000
We are all working together to create a better encyclopedia.
27
0:1:43,100 --> 0:1:47,000
Internet Censorship
28
0:1:49,100 --> 0:1:55,000
They fear knowledge which has the potential to lead to something.
29
0:1:56,100 --> 0:2:0,000
It isn't about information getting into China
30
0:2:0,100 --> 0:2:3,000
It's about information from Chinese people,
31
0:2:3,100 --> 0:2:7,000
the Chinese point of view, being expressed to the entire world.
32
0:2:8,100 --> 0:2:13,000
It's the idea that all these things I've read,
33
0:2:13,100 --> 0:2:18,000
and I contribute will be free forever.
34
0:2:18,100 --> 0:2:22,000
Newspaper's top-down, radio's top-down, television's top-down.
35
0:2:22,100 --> 0:2:25,000
We don't have a say. Now, through Wikipedia collectively,
36
0:2:25,100 --> 0:2:28,000
we write the history. This is totally revolutionary.
37
0:2:28,100 --> 0:2:30,000
Democracy, freedom, justice, equality,
38
0:2:30,100 --> 0:2:33,000
and all that stuff that they teach us in school.
39
0:2:35,100 --> 0:2:38,000
Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet
40
0:2:38,100 --> 0:2:42,000
is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.
41
0:2:42,100 --> 0:2:45,000
I don't think the work is ever done as long as the universe exists,
42
0:2:45,100 --> 0:2:50,000
and that's gonna be around for at least ... well, depends.
