Is Wikipedia biased?

Published

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, etc… 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. That’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 Wikipedia’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.

Climate Change Myths Part 2: Wildfires, Drought, Rising Sea Level, and Coral Reefs

Published on

From StosselTV

By John Stossel

More climate change myths need debunking. There’s so much the alarmists get wrong!

Linnea Lueken of the Heartland Institute helps us reveal the data that disproves claims of: worsening drought, worsening wildfires, catastrophic sea level rise and a dying Great Barrier Reef.

You might be surprised by what’s true and what’s not.

Here is a list of the sources used in the video:

Global area in severe meteorological drought has not increased over the last 100 years: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science…

Drought in the U.S. is not worse today: https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicator…

U.S. Wildfires Have Declined: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science…

100 million people live below sea level: https://archive.is/t3B2y#selection-91…

U.S. Sea Level Rise is currently rising at a pace 1.2 inches per decade since 1993: https://sealevel.colorado.edu/

Great Barrier Reef coral coverage hit a record high in 2024: https://www.aims.gov.au/monitoring-gr…

 

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