I have been trying to bring attention to the blatant political bias in Wikipedia since 2015 and even earlier (even to the point of being banned from the site in 2019 for making too much noise about it, even though I broke no rules, and they couldn't show any rules I had broken), and year after year found extraordinarily frustrating how they just get a free pass, as pretty much nobody cares, pays attention, or draws attention to it. Prominent anti-leftist youtubers who will make videos about even the most minor mundane inconsequential things that the crazy left has done, have been completely quiet about Wikipedia for years and years.
But perhaps this might be changing?
In July of last year Fox News published an interview with the Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who criticizes Wikipedia for its left-wing bias and propaganda.
Recently Steven Crowder made an episode of his show about this bias, and how every single one of his edits bringing more conservative points of view were quickly reverted, as reported by The Daily Wire.
All this was also summarized by The Quartering in a YouTube video.
Even these articles don't go deep enough into the blatant political bias at Wikipedia (for example they make no mention of the absolute disgrace that is the Wikipedia article of Donald Trump, or the one of Gamergate), but I suppose this is better than nothing. I don't think it's still enough, but better than no criticism at all.
We'll see if this is just a very temporary phase. Which it may well be. Anti-left critics tend to dwell on one subject for only a very limited amount of time before they either get bored of it or give up because it's not gaining any traction, and they move to something else, and thus the left wins once again by simply playing the ignoring-and-waiting game.
This is one of the main reasons why the left is winning the cultural war hard: When they set their minds on something, they never give up. The indoctrinated mindless drones keep pounding on it day after day, month after month, year after year, until they get it through. (Why do you think that, for example, more and more companies are adding "preferred pronouns" to all their materials and personal information, and using leftist terms like "LGBTQ+" etc? It didn't happen overnight. It happened because the brainwashed left kept pounding on it for years and years, until they got through. They did not give up, and thus they got what they wanted.)
This is very different from their critics, who will campaign on something for a while, but if it doesn't seem to immediately gain popularity they just give up and forget about it, and thus concede once again a victory for the left.
I fear it will happen with this Wikipedia thing as well.
