For those of you who would like to compare two wiki works to see if one is more biased than the other, I urge you to look up the same articles in each (I’m talking Wikipedia and Conservapedia). Try benign topics, biographical ones, pop-culture, science, religion, atheism, specific colleges and universities, cities and towns, and so on. The one striking difference is that Wikipedia attempts to provide multiple points of view and Conservapedia, when it even has an article on a given topic, proudly does not provide all sides of an argument. When one is an extremist, the rest of the world looks skewed. That is why Wikipedia, the press, universities, etc. are branded by extremist conservatives as “liberal.”
