Perhaps, but Wikipedia's unreliability means that it is not in a position to meaningfully comment on reliability of other sites.
- lelandfe 5y agoUnreliability insofar as Wikipedia is concerned means it’s articles are of varying quality. That’s a fact somewhat inherent in its design. Why do you feel like that prevents their moderation teams from being arbiters of source quality? That page’s findings are not public-editable, for the record.
- tharne 5y ago> Why do you feel like that prevents their moderation teams from being arbiters of source quality? The same reason I don't feel like Fox News or Breitbart provides a reliable view of the news, political bias. A lot has been written about wikipedia's political bias. I don't care to rehash the entire debate, but let's start with the fact that one of the original creators believes it has a problem with bias: https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/ https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/ Is that the end-all be-all? Probably not, but it's reasonably concerning.
