    I remember a time when telling the truth wasn’t considered bias by the Republican party. It was the same time when, “conservative speech” didn’t mean lies, misinformation, and hate speech.

    Uh, yes. Wikipedia is biased. There’s an entire cadre of editors on the payroll of the CIA and they have thoroughly infiltrated that organization to manage narrative.

    Sounds like a good time to download a local backup, before they inevitably pressure Wikipedia.
