Wikipedia “moderators” and senior editors are working towards promoting left-leaning organizations and ideals, while suppressing right-leaning organizations and ideals. The staff editors and senior-level volunteer editors are highlighting negative information for Republicans more generally, and deleting or reforming edits that portray liberal ideals in a negative light. Here, I’ll present a few examples.

1. Fox News vs. CNN

Fox News: lead contains (paragraph at the top, what most people form their initial impressions upon):

Fox News has been described as practicing biased reporting in favor of the Republican Party, the George W. Bush and Donald Trump administrations, and conservative causes while slandering the Democratic Party and spreading harmful propaganda intended to negatively affect its members’ electoral performances.[11][12][13][14] Critics have cited the channel as detrimental to the integrity of news overall.[15][16] Fox News employees have said that news reporting operates independently of its opinion and commentary programming, and have denied bias in news reporting, while former employees have said that Fox ordered them to “slant the news in favor of conservatives”.[17] During Trump’s presidency, observers have noted a pronounced tendency of Fox News to serve as a “mouthpiece” for the administration, providing “propaganda” and a “feedback loop” for Trump, with one presidential scholar stating, “it’s the closest we’ve come to having state TV.”[18][19][20][21][22]

I discovered that editing Wikipedia is a complete waste of time. The reasons are well set out in this thread.

Conservatives should ignore Wikipedia (a lost cause) and instead build up the sensible alternative, Conservapedia: https://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page
