Do you understand how Wikipedia works? It appears you do not. And it was not Wikipedia that suggested conservatives lie more often than liberals. That was simply my conclusion based on the political themes found in the vast majority of political disinformaiton.Wikipedia is a leftist biased group!
Wikipedia aims to be an unbiased, neutral source. However, Sanger has said Wikipedia’s neutral point of view is “dead,” and that Wikipedia now “endorses the utterly bankrupt canard that journalists should avoid what they call ‘false balance’. The notion that we should avoid “false balance” is directly contradictory to the original neutrality policy.”
5 Studies Find Wikipedia Bias
Five studies, including two from Harvard researchers, have found a left-wing bias at Wikipedia:
- A Harvard study found Wikipedia articles are more left-wing than Encyclopedia Britannica.
- Another paper from the same Harvard researchers found left-wing editors are more active and partisan on the site.
- A 2018 analysis found top-cited news outlets on Wikipedia are mainly left-wing.
- Another analysis using AllSides Media Bias Ratings™ found that pages on American politicians cite mostly left-wing news outlets.
- American academics found conservative editors are 6 times more likely to be sanctioned in Wikipedia policy enforcement.
