"badly biased" is the author's way of saying that the articles he finds don't agree with his far-right view point. The current politicization of what is fact and what is fiction by the current administration in the US doesn't give me sympathy for his argument.
As an example, he complains that the so-called "obamagate scandal" is not covered on wikipedia. As a reminder, the "scandal" is that:
1) Russia sabotages the US election (both sides of the political
aisle agree on this)
2) the Obama admin puts sanctions on Russia
3) Russia doesn't retaliate (this is VERY weird)
4) The Obama administration asks the intelligence agencies
to investigate why they didn't retaliate.
5) They find that an American was talking to the Russian
ambassador and they told them not to worry about the
sanctions since they will make them "go away" when Trump is
in office
6) To find out who was undermining US foreign policy, they go
through a legal process that everyone agrees (including Trump)
was followed to the tee.
7) They find that it was Michael Flynn (Trump's national
security advisor) who was talking to the ambassador and
it was on a call that as national security advisor he knew
was monitored.
8) Flynn lies to FBI officials about the call (he has plead guilty to
this under oath twice)
8) Obama warns Trump that Flynn is being sketchy and that he
might want to reconsider hiring him
9) It comes out that Flynn was interfering with US foreign policy
and Trump fires him saying that he lied to VP Pence. Pence when
asked about it says that he made the right decision in firing him.
11) Now we're being asked to believe that investigation was an
"Obama deepstate coupe" to bring down Donald Trump
It is a shameless political ploy to spin up a scandal that doesn't exist. I'm proud that wikipedia isn't curtailing to what is, simply put, a republican talking point designed to stir up support in an election year.
