Wikipedia Blacklists Conservative Sources In Favor Of Left-Wing Bias

Add Wikipedia to the growing list of media outlets that are ignoring the memo that Donald Trump won the election and liberals are no longer in charge.

In a revealing new report, the Media Research Center, the conservative news watchdog, said on Monday that Wikipedia has effectively blacklisted new sources that lean right, making it a liberal online encyclopedia based on left-wing media, including those well known for lying about Republicans and Trump and promoting conspiracy theories such as Russiagate.

The blacklisting MRC found was stunning. It said no conservative news sites made the fully trustworthy grade, while just 16% of liberal sites were blocked as sources.

“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 said.

Some center-right media, such as the Washington Examiner, made the Wiki grade just under the top one, “Generally reliable,” with a judgment of “No consensus.”

Others, including the MRC, which hosts news sites including Newsbusters, were graded a lower judgment of “Generally unreliable.”
