i don't see the bias but i suspect that people here have drunk as much freeper koolaid as they accuse DUs of drinking (maybe not quite as much).
the 'Jim Robinson' section of the "Free Republic" doesn't have much positive to say and I suspect that is part of why the accusations of bias...
people on both sides don't like it when the rock is lifted and what was in the dark is exposed to light.
it looks like ex-freepers wrote the "Immigration rift" section, not lefty liberals.

When I edited on Wikipedia I took Neutral POV very seriously. I rewrote parts of the Bill Clinton article because they were rightward leaning at one point. That makes me a hero and no debate at all, but if I rewrote left leaning pieces toward NPOV it raised a hornet's nest.
That is experience, and I argued for quite a while, but after a time it just gets to be a pain in the rear and I gave it up for good.
I personally have come to like Fred Bauder's concept of Sympathetic Point Of View. At first it was weird, but it makes sense after I messed with Wikinfo for a while. No arguments over content on Wikinfo really. If you have an alternate view, just write an alternate article.
