Some Sources Matter More: Wikipedia’s Unequal Rules

Wikipedia has ties to one of the world’s most influential left-wing newspapers — The Guardian. In 2016, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales joined the board of its parent company. Since then, the paper — known for anti-Trump rhetoric and pro-censorship stances — has been listed as a “reliable source” on Wikipedia.

Meanwhile, conservative outlets like Fox News, The Federalist, Epoch Times, and Post Millennial are flagged or outright banned. Is this a coincidence — or a systemic bias built into the world’s largest encyclopedia?
