User:Emijrp/Bias in Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a great and inspiring project. Spreading all human knowledge for free is one of the best achievements the world can pursue. The problem starts when that knowledge is biased. And not shaped and biased in any way, but in a way that benefits the ruling class.

Malcolm X said "if you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." Newspapers are references in Wikipedia, what could possibly go wrong? Of course, this is not the only source of bias, but one of the most blatant.

In this page I compile some info about Bias in Wikipedia.

Anti-communism


One of the most blatant biases in Wikipedia, if not the worst, is the anti-communism bias.

Examples to analyse:


 * Mass killings under Communist regimes: it shows the same numbers (100 million) and references (The Black Book of Communism) that the Conservapedia and Metapedia articles. It seems so reliable...

Sandbox

 * Anti-union violence vs Union violence
 * Udo Ulfkotte
