Is Wikipedia biased?

Published

From Stossel TV

I love Wikipedia! I even donated to it. But I won’t donate again, now that I’ve learned how BIASED Wikipedia has become.

No right-leaning outlets, Fox News Politics, the Daily Wire, the Daily Caller, etcā€¦ is considered ā€œreliableā€ by Wikipedia. None. But even some of the most extreme leftist outlets get a “reliable” badge — like ā€œJacobin,” a self-described SOCIALIST outlet. Vox, Buzzfeed News, and Slate are also deemed ā€œreliableā€ by Wikipedia. Editors may base stories on their reporting. Why did Wikipedia become so biased?

Veteran Wikipedian Jonathan Weiss tells me that the site, like academia, has been captured by leftists. Some Wikipedia administrators even brag on their profiles, “this user is a socialist.” Another put up images idolizing communist murderers Che Guevara and Vladimir Lenin. These administrators make final decisions about what counts as ā€œreliable,” and what goes on Wikipedia. Thatā€™s why for years, Wiki’s “communism” page made NO mention of the millions killed by that ideology. US border facilities are listed under “concentration camps,ā€ on the same page as Wikipediaā€™s holocaust facilities. Can we fix this? Wikipedia is supposed to be a site that “anyone can edit,” so I made an edit. You can find out what happened in the video below.

Publicity Kills DEI: A Free Speech Solution to Woke Companies

Published on

For years, major corporations bragged about their wonderful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Theyā€™re good for business and morally correct, they said. So why are they now cutting those programs?

Robby Starbuck says these programs once got a lot of buy-in, because people wanted to be nice! But DEI came to mean much more than just being nice.

Starbuck says what it looked like in practice was ā€œcrazy trainingsā€ and ā€œovertly racist hiring practices.” Now lots of people agree with him.

Companies actually take notice when Starbuck tells his many followers about their DEI programs. Often the programs get dropped.

Thatā€™s the power of free speech.

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.

What Socialist Influencers Get Wrong (Just About Everything)

Published on

From StosselTV

Socialism is popular!

Youtube and TikTok stars say socialism “maximizes freedomā€¦ increases life-expectancy,” and “improves home-ownership.ā€ Itā€™s so absurd!

I asked my producer, Kristin Tokarev, to investigate their claims. Her video debunks their propaganda.

Influencers now rack up millions of views claiming socialism works better than capitalism. Hereā€™s some of what they get terribly wrong!

After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
