Are you equating The Gateway Pundit and the BBC?

  I'm honestly not sure at this point if people really can't tell the difference or if they're just fine with ignoring it when it's convenient for them. One of those possibilities can be fixed with education, but I'm not sure anything can be done to help prevent the other.

  No, it was a broad smattering of different popular conservative news outlets and think tanks vs left-wing outlets and think tanks. It's very hard to directly compare any two news sources from opposite sides of the political isle so I didn't even try. I encourage you to look at the list though and derive your own opinions. My point is that it's not just people freely editing, there are strict rules and these rules are political. I mean think about the Hunter Biden laptop story; it was published by the New York Post, but they were (and are) banned at the time. Meanwhile many "reputable" organizations (according to this list) were lying about the laptop insinuating (if not claiming) it was Russia disinformation or otherwise fake. How would you get the truth through to Wikipedia? The reality is you couldn't, because of the political bias, and this showed through at the time where pages on the topic claimed it was fake/disinformation even though it was obvious it wasn't.
