Online encyclopedia's bias exposed

According to a media watchdog, Wikipedia is blacklisting any and all right-leaning news sources and presenting conservative topics and people in the worst possible light.

Media Research Center (MRC) Free Speech America did the research and found that right-leaning news sources like Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Daily Mail, Newsmax, and OANN are never used as source material.

"100% of right-learning news outlets are blackballed, are prohibited from being used as sources for anything on Wikipedia," reports MRC's Dan Schneider.

Meanwhile, leftist media like The Atlantic, The Guardian, and National Public Radio (NPR) are given the green light, which means Wikipedia is purposely feeding Americans information exclusively through the lens of one side of the political spectrum.

He says it is a complete censorship of conservative sources.

Wikipedia's exclusive use of "Reliable sources/Perennial sources" has resulted in the smearing and slandering of conservatives, Republicans, and Trump appointees.

President Trump's Wiki page, for example, states as fact that "Trump's rhetoric and actions inflame anger and exacerbate distrust through an 'us' versus 'them' narrative. Trump explicitly and routinely disparages racial, religious, and ethnic minorities."

"All of these descriptions of Donald Trump are … determined by The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR – all of the bad actors that are known [for] a left-wing bias and a political agenda," Schneider notes.

According to MRC,  the once-reliable Wikipedia ran off the rails under former CEO Katherine Maher to become what it is now: "a bunch of left wingers with a real hardcore political agenda."

"They cast judgment on people and determine how people are going to be described," Schneider summarizes.

He thinks there is a good chance the bias will be permanently attached to the conservative subjects' legacies.
