Bias != Reliability.
There's a reason "The Atlantic" is listed green even though it's conservative. Hell they list the Christian Science monitor as green for reliability (as they should imo), I don't think Wikipedia is demonstrating a bias based on any particular ideology in their sources on this list.
This wiki list is a list of sources by reliability. If you only publish stories which support your bias, but those stories are scientifically sound and don't omit context, I don't see the problem with using them as a source regardless of bias.
If you only allow sources from reliable sources aligned with a particular bias to the exclusion of reliable sources from another alignment, that would be an issue, but I don't see evidence of such here.
The problem isn't the bias. The problem is the factuality.

The Atlantic is in no way conservative leaning. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/atlantic https://www.allsides.com/news-source/atlantic https://adfontesmedia.com/the-atlantic-bias-and-reliability/ https://adfontesmedia.com/the-atlantic-bias-and-reliability/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-atlantic/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-atlantic/ https://www.biasly.com/sources/the-atlantic-bias-rating/ https://www.biasly.com/sources/the-atlantic-bias-rating/
- mr_toad 3y agoI think there is a large proportion of people who don’t (and maybe even can’t) understand the difference. For them facts are things they agree with, and everything else is a lie. It almost seems as if some people think that reality is everywhere subjective, and saying or believing something makes it truth, much like religion.
