The usage of [[Wikipedia]] as a tool for promoting this type of propaganda is second only to Google itself. It is quite possible that this came about due to the fact that other editors and Admin are simply uneducated in these matters. This exposes a major flaw in Wikipedia which is that ''“a group of editors can learn to work the system so they can promote their own point of view, so that the article will become a stated Wiki fact, and itself a piece of history"''.

Josip Broz was the Commander of all Partisans and Communists during WWII. He then later became Yugoslavia's political leader and was the main decision maker in military and political matters. During the Cold War he was portrayed to the people of Yugoslavia and to the West as a hero. He was considered to be by many, one of the prominent Eastern European Balkan Dictators of the Cold War era.  After World War Two, Tito and his comrades set up KGB/NKVD style police units (UDBA & OZNA) and unleashed terror in the former Yugoslavia on a grand scale. One only has to  mention Goli Otok, a '''notorious prison''' on the Croatian coast (former Yugoslavia’s Evil Island-Gulag). The terror campaign lasted for about twenty years until the regime introduced reforms in the 1960's. The article doesn't even mention that Josip Broz's and his fellow communist were committing economic management suicide in the 1960's and 70's.

Is Wikipedia taking on a darker tone? Where are the ethical and moral issues involved in creating a feel good article about a man who played a major role in these historicial events? How many more articles are being written within Wikipedia that are just the point of view of its Editors (political, in this case).  This is not encyclopedic work, pure and simple.

Is this type of phenomenon happening with other articles. Quite possible!
