WP:POLEMIC: what has been learnt in the past few months is the extent enwiki will bend WP:NPOV to kowtow to the major western outlets, unintentionally or intentionally reproducing their narratives and their preferences on how history should be framed. in the past, one would recognize the biases and prejudices of history writers not as some unfortunate obstacle but as a necessary byproduct of how history is elaborated. the recent fantasy, that bias may be avoided entirely by amalgamating sources that claim one thing and sources that claim another in order to reach some "neutral" truth, is perhaps the most foul value wikipedia could claim to uphold. all history must take a side. wikipedia threatens to corrode history's narrative to simple propositions and axioms, all backed by the fallible claims of major media outlets with occluded interests; how could this project dare to assume it could ever be free of bias? according to NPOV, the considerations of the foul and the cruel must be given a place at the table on wikipedia. how completely this project has shown that it still cannot properly articulate modern history
