They're extremely biased in Ireland too.
Our neoliberal politicians have massive confirmed scandals reduced to 1 line vaguenesses, while their tiniest plaudits merit paragraphs.
And vice versa for anyone independent, left wing, anti-war, anti-corruption etc.
- sharikous 5y agoGiven that you can find allegations of bias going both ways just in this thread, by reading the comments I became convinced Wikipedia is in fact more neutral than I thought. And to you I say Wikipedia is open source, you can edit in stuff yourself. Sure there is some inertia and moderation and some users will engage in edit wars but as long as you add information (e.g. the scandals you mention) there is usually a low resistance to do so. Editing or removing stuff requires more justification but it is feasible too, as long as you have an encyclopedic reason to do so.
