The Daily Beast’s Harry Lambert, who wrote a crude hit piece on War Room host Stephen K. Bannon following his release from prison, previously occupied himself with writing his own now-deleted Wikipedia page, The National Pulse can reveal.
In 2021, observant social media users noticed that an account called Blueriverrock29 created and edited Lambert’s Wikipedia page. The account seemed solely to contribute to pages related to Lambert’s family and insert references to Lambert elsewhere.
Among Blueriverrock29’s edits was a glowing endorsement from another journalist calling Lambert “a new star in political journalism,” citing a two-year-old tweet—which Wikipedia would not typically accept as a reliable source.
Another account, BlueRiver472, added a highly posed photo of Lambert to his page, describing it as “their own work” for copyright purposes.
When another Wikipedia user added details on Lambert’s parents—the highly connected Stephen Lambert and Jenni Russel, both BBC veterans—near the top of his profile, a new user, Eagleheights162, soon appeared to delete them, perhaps sensing people would conclude Lambert owes his career to nepotism.
Political blog Guido Fawkes noted that Lambert had once been the director of a film company with an address in Eagle Heights, explaining the user name.
At some point following these embarrassing revelations, Lambert’s Wikipedia page vanished without a trace. Pages for his father and mother still exist, but any mention of him has been removed from them.
