The Left Dominates Wikipedia Too

I more ore less knew that anyway, so I don't use it for political information. Even the information I do get from them is probably biased but at least not to the extent I'd expect political issues to be biased. I apprecaite Wikipedia a great deal for the availabilty of all kinds of information that's easy to find there, so I always send them a few dollars whenever their fundraising pleas come up.

Maybe I shouldn't though. Maybe I'll rethink that policy because of this article in the Epoch Times:
Wikiipedia Co-founder Warns: ‘Wikipedia Is More One-Sided Than Ever’ BY JACK PHILLIPS July 5, 2021 Updated: July 6, 2021 biggersmaller Print Larry Sanger, a co-founder of Wikipedia, warned that the online encyclopedia is “more one-sided than ever” in light of the website’s entries for Black Lives Matter, the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump’s two impeachments, and other contentious topics.

Sanger, in particular, took issue with how some Wikipedia entries are sourced.

“In short, and with few exceptions, only globalist, progressive mainstream sources—and sources friendly to globalist progressivism—are permitted,” he wrote in an article on his website.
