Wikipedia becoming more and more of a political propaganda machine

As I have written several times before, Wikipedia is ridiculously politically biased when it comes to political topics, and the Wikipedia articles of pretty much all people, institutions and ideologies that the regressive left doesn't like are pretty much nothing but smearing pieces and propaganda against them. Moreover, if you dare to protest this political bias in Wikipedia, they will ban you, with lies and without being able to give any good reasons or references to Wikipedia rules.

Unsurprisingly, this is only becoming worse and worse as time passes, since Wikipedia is being administered by politically biased leftists, who find Wikipedia an extraordinarily powerful tool for their political propaganda.

This propaganda often manifests in sentences, paragraphs, sections and even entire separate articles that are absolutely not encyclopedic, and are nothing but smearing pieces and propaganda against an individual or entity that the left does not like. (Conspicuously, generally no such articles will exist for anybody that the left likes.)

Consider, for example, the separate article Veracity of statements by Donald Trump. This is the only article in the entirety of Wikipedia of this kind. No "veracity of statements" type of article exists for any other person in the entire website. This is not a normal type of article, and it's not encyclopedic in any way, shape or form. (I suppose that when they banned me for "not here to build an encyclopedia", this is what they were referring to. I suppose this is their notion of an "encyclopedia".)

Or how about Opinion polling on the Donald Trump administration (note how, curiously, it's "the Donald Trump administration", rather than just "the Trump administration" which is the normal way of referring to a presidential administration.) There are many opinion polling articles at Wikipedia, but this is the only one that exists of a particular president's administration. All the others are generally about election polling in several countries, not about opinion polling on an existing administration. You won't find such articles eg. about Barack Obama, or any other presidential administration of any country.

Now that the corona virus epidemic is in the news, what a better opportunity than use Wikipedia to make it political, and loudly present all the "xenophobia and racism" surrounding it. And not just as a single throw-away sentence in the main article of the outbreak. Or as a paragraph. Or as a section. No, as its own separate article.

Unsurprisingly, this is the only article of its kind in the entirety of Wikipedia. There is no precedent or template for this kind of article. It was created solely for this purpose.

"Xenophobia and racism related to the 2019-20 novel coronavirus outbreak" has no encyclopedic value, but it's a hell of a political propaganda piece.

And then they banned me for "not here to build an encyclopedia", when I protested these types of propaganda articles. Well, they were right. I was most certainly not there to build this kind of "encyclopedia".
