Conservatives have long been blowing the whistle on Wikipedia’s leftist bias. The site’s co-founder Larry Sanger apparently agrees with them.In a blog post last week, Sanger argued that Wikipedia has abandoned all neutrality in the name of avoiding what activist journalists call the “false balance” – the idea that not all opposing views of an argument should be given equal time. He goes through several pages to support his thesis, noting the rather charged language often employed.When comparing the pages for former President Barack Obama and the current President Donald Trump, the differences are night and day, with the former receiving overwhelmingly positive treatment while the latter
There's NO entry for Sidney Powell who is making history by leading the fight against corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA and DOJ. I love her for doing this for General Flynn as much as I love Donald Trump as our greatest Prez in my lifetime!

TBH I like Wikipedia, it's formatted well, readable and accessible.
The site's consistent bias is obvious and clumsy so I know what info to value and what to shun.
That said, shining a light on the agenda can only be a good thing.

"Site's neutrality no longer exists." I have used Wikipedia since the early 2000's and the leftist bias has existed since the beginning. This guy evidently just recently got a clue or something.

Neutrality NEVER existed at Wikipedia. Avoid ANYTHING even remotely political and you can often get decent info, but anything political, or related to MMGW scam....all lies, and they immediately "correct" any truths that leak through, and if you persist trying to post truths, you will be blocked from editing.
Bolsheviks run it, clearly.

There's a reason why schools and colleges NEVER, EVER allow Wikipedia as a source for anything! (it's not reputable.) It should only be used as a jumping off place to find reliable information elsewhere. . . . and that's with or without its leftward slant!

If you don't realize the bias in any written piece your reading comprehension scores must have been abysmal. That being said always have a grain of salt nearby when reading anything from the internwt. Including this.

What #5 said. Wikipedia is a superior search engine, not a definitive source. Don’t like what it says? Edit it yourself.

Check out DuckDuckGo.com then tell Wiki and Google to take a flying back flip through a rolling doughnut. And they don't track you.

Part of it is because of people like Susan Gerbic (James Randi's award recipient) who have made a business out of influencing Wikipedia editing. Then, of course, there are always lefties involved in being "influencers" out there being editors and commentators

Millennials and Leftists are so historically illiterate. Last week I came across this in the Wikipedia article on faithless electors in the 2016 election:
Only four times in American history (1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016) has a presidential candidate lost the popular vote but achieved the electoral college majority, thereby assuming the presidency. . . .
Apparently, they never heard of Bill Clinton.
