Left Lean

Wikipedia bans the right:
Wikipedia, one of the world's most widely used online information sources, faces scrutiny over claims of political bias in its treatment of news organizations. The MRC report stated that "Wikipedia effectively blocks 100% of right-leaning media sources — the ones more likely to give fair treatment to the majority in Congress as well as to incoming officials to the Trump administration. On the contrary, only 16% of left-wing media sources fail to win Wikipedia's stamp of approval." The report assessed how Wikipedia categorizes news sources, finding that conservative outlets such as Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Newsmax, One America News Network, and the Media Research Center are labeled as "generally unreliable" or effectively blacklisted. Luis Cornelio, the report's author, expressed concern over the implications of these classifications. "Among the effectively blackballed media sources are Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Daily Mail, Newsmax, OANN, and the Media Research Center. Meanwhile, leftist media like The Atlantic, Jacobin, Mother Jones, ProPublica, The Guardian, and National Public Radio are given the green light," he wrote. "This blatant misinformation means that Wikipedia is purposely feeding Americans information exclusively through the lens of one side of the political spectrum — the left."
It's their Wiki and no one else's...
