This article cannot claim a neutral point of view
Posted on the InfoWars talk page

The claim that this article is of a neutral point-of-view is horrendously untrue. This claim hinges on the assumption that the sources are "reliable". Yet it blissfully fails to address that the vast majority of citations derive from sources that indisputably skew left. The lens through which this article is written is thusly warped and will stand as unreliable (biased) until rectified. This is an egregious and dangerous example of cherrypicking sources. And, unyielding to criticism, many editors are relentlessly safeguarding this article, feeling justified under this haven of cherrypicked sources.

To highlight an example, the FAQ claims justifiability in describing InfoWars as a "fake news" website due to these sources: Vox, The New York Daily News, CNN, The Los Angeles Times, CBS News and The Statesman – 100% of which are invariably left-leaning. Yet the FAQ generalizes its claim of neutrality to the entire article. Furthermore, there are indubitably defenses against these some of these claims, yet they are left out of this article (presumably since they must be "intrinsically unreliable").

To preemptively dispel ad-hominem rebuttals, I, personally, am not even conservative politically, but I do believe that overwhelming bias on an "encyclopedic" article is damaging to intellectual discourse. I admit having little faith that this will be improved, especially since the co-founder of Wikipedia himself attests that Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view policy "is dead". But I hope to leave this here – as a civil statement, mind you – for anyone who is rightly skeptical of this article.
