- decimalenough 2y agoHere's the list, have a browse and try to find any that are (US) conservative and green ("generally reliable"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per... There's a few economically conservative sources (Economist, WSJ, etc) but I don't think there's any politically conservative ones.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoThe source bias is a big problem but it goes beyond that. The various groups of people who have power within Wikipedia simply create content with their personal bias. Look at how easily Wikipedia editors throw the conspiracy theory label on everything they disagree with politically, for example.
- Zigurd 2y agoWhile there is plenty of baloney on the left, like quantum consciousness and crystals etc. it isn't held up as being proudly wrong. Biden's HHS secy. wasn't a Reiki Master even if Reiki Masters are leftish. RFK Jr. is proudly a kook, regardless of how right or left he is. It just isn't symmetrical.
