New study: Wikipedia blacklists right-leaning media, relies only on left-wing sources

I’m sure that I don’t have to tell anyone this, but Wikipedia is not a reliable website, if you are looking up topics like religion, science or policy. If you need to prove this to anyone, then bookmark this post. Because we’re going to take a look at a new study by the Media Research Center, that clearly shows how wikipedia is biased against Christians and conservatives.

Here’s the article from the Media Research Center:

A new study by Media Research Center Free Speech America found that Wikipedia, the encyclopedia behemoth, has effectively blacklisted all right-leaning media from being used as source material, exclusively relying on leftist, legacy media notoriously known to spread misinformation and attack opponents of the left.

Among the effectively blackballed media sources are Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Daily Mail, Newsmax, OANN and the Media Research Center. Meanwhile, leftist media like The Atlantic, Jacobin, Mother Jones, Pro-Publica, The Guardian and National Public Radio (NPR) are given the green light. This blatant misinformation means that Wikipedia is purposely feeding Americans information exclusively through the lens of one side of the political spectrum—the left.

Positioning themselves as arbiters of truth, Wikipedia and its editors have effectively institutionalized a blacklisting system utilizing a “Reliable sources/Perennial sources” page that forbids the use of some of the most popular media sources on the right when editing Wikipedia pages. Their claims? Right-leaning sources are not “reliable,” and in some cases literally “blacklisted” — Wikipedia’s actual word — from use on the platform altogether. The predictable effect? Conservatives, Republicans and Trump appointees are smeared, maligned and slandered by the most popular online source for information about people.

I still use Wikipedia for finding out about famous historical battles, or different kinds of animals, but not for anything else. It’s just not a reliable web site. Plus, they are always begging for money. Never give them a cent!

  1. Even if you do use wiki never feel bad about funding them. If you go to a guy called lunduke journal on YouTube you will find a video where he goes over financials if wiki.

    Based upon server costs and basics the few hundred million they have in trust will fund wiki for over a decade.

    Donations go to their much more expensive Dei and various leftist policy support programs they either run or fund
