I occasionally use Wikipedia (on the order of once a month). It’s usually for technical or historical information (i.e. Kalman filters, geologic eras, astronomy, etc.). I don’t even consider it for controversial or political topics. Like anything from the media, their major bias is not in what they say, it’s in what they omit.
Too often they practice sleight of hand, pretending that the two are interchangeable before an undiscerning public.
She’s confusing truth and facts with opinions and narratives which are two different things but the left will always champion “the narrative”.
ivy league con artist, really. It’s also obvious they don’t really expect you to believe their party line nonsense, but it’s a kind of Loyalty Test. Virtue signaling, “I believe these things that are good because they say they are good. It you believe something different that makes you a bad person”.
