Wikipedia's Dirty Little Secret
by Elizabeth Theus Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:00 pm
A couple of years back, a conservative friend told me that he sent a check to support Wikipedia every month. Why, I asked him, would you support a site that engages in anti-conservative smears and left-wing bias, and suppresses conservative views?
His was a common mistake. When Wikipedia was founded, it was based on open-source principles (though it was never technically an open-source project). Basically, anyone who had access to the internet could go in and add to or edit articles. The idea was to crowdsource the vast knowledge in the universe to come up with accurate articles that could be used by anyone anywhere, free of charge. It was a great idea in theory, but it hasn’t panned out that way. In recent years it has devolved into left-wing tyranny by moderators who have an agenda, many of whom apparently have an ax to grind.
Wikipedia claims its articles are written from a neutral point of view:

That depends upon how one defines "extremist kook websites". Some believe that ANY website which is not in lockstep with the Democrat rhetoric is an extremist kook website. Certainly ANY website which dares to tell the truth about the WuFlu, the "Vaccine" or election fraud is labeled an "extremist kook website" by the MSM and the Democrats do their best to censor, cancel and shut them down.

for instance: that faggot airplane to malaysia from netherlands? it was destroyed by a missile fired by Dnipro Ukraine. they had its radar signature locked on and upon firing the missile, asked rostov to take over tracking it.

Some people believe pigs can fly too. A balance usually lies somewhere between the extremes, which come from both sides.

Personally, I'm not looking for "balance", I'm looking for TRUTH and HONESTY. If that truth lies somewhere between both sides so be it.
