Wikileaks Co-Founder: Site Now Promotes Leftist Establishment Propaganda
Newsbusters ^ | July 18, 2021 | P.J. Gladnick

Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger is warning that the online encyclopedia is nothing like it used to be, when it used to aspire to neutrality. Now it easily comes up in Google searches of everything, and so it can't be ignored by powerful people.

In an interview with Lockdown TV, Sanger said “Wikipedia is known, now, by everyone to have a lot of influence in the world … so there is a very big, nasty, complex game being played behind the scenes to make the articles say what somebody wants them to say.”

Jimmy Wales who was supposedly a libertarian seems to have become a shill for the leftist establishment.

Newsbusters messed up the headline. It should have read “Wikipedia founder ...”. No fault of OP.

O’Sullivan’s Law: “All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.”

Robert Conquest’s Three Laws of Politics:
1.)Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.

2.)Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.

3.)The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.

John Derbyshire adds this:
Of the Second Law, Conquest gave the Church of England and Amnesty International as examples. Of the Third, he noted that a bureaucracy sometimes actually is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies — e.g. the postwar British secret service.

NOW! Now the site’s obvious bias is noticed? Wow, talk about slow on the uptake. It has been politically biased for over a decade.

I’ve heard about Wikileaks being unreliable for more than 10 years. That founder should have acted a lot sooner to stop the lies in Wikileaks. In any case, Wikileaks should be renamed to Wikilies.

Wikipedia is so far left they actually promote Zoophilia

I advise anyone here to edit the Zoophilia, population control and Drugs articles and remove any left bias from them. Those articles have been taken over by far left nutjobs. You might need to auto confirmed (sign up for an account make 10 edits ,like in your sandbox and after a few days you can edit autoconfirmed articles)

I am fine with Wikiepdia being pro LGBT, pro choice, pro migtrant but i draw the line with Wikipedia being pro drug, pro Zoophilia ,pro population control.
