Imagine if your kneejerk reaction to a post about a far right Dutch nationalist group is “Wikipedia is librul!!!1” truly braindead shit.
You should google around and find some things about them that you like or think are being mischaracterized and report back, that’d actually contribute something and we could all learn.
Even Jimmy Wales says it’s “slightly more liberal than the U.S. population on average” when America is already fairly left wing, as if only Western Europe existed. Larry Sangar, wikipedia’s other co-founder, also says it’s left wing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideological_bias_on_Wikipedia
That really depends on what you considered developed. Poland swung hard right after the fall of the USSR, for example. They aren’t as developed as the UK or Germany or whatever, but I’d consider them developed.
Well, the very first place I noticed it was about 10 years ago on the Gamer gate article. Called it a harassment campaign when it was really a married game dev fucking journalists for good coverage. We always knew gaming journalism was corrupt, but it was nice to have proof. Also sucks for the husband who got cheated on. Next day, about 14 separate sites all come with the headline “Gamers are dead”. Since then, either by confirmation bias or reality, I’ve been noticing a lot of bias in Wikipedia articles.
I mean when someone comes in with a bullhorn and says “I support gamergate” it’s kind of nice to know you can block them now without having to get in an argument or stressing either of you out. You just know you won’t get along.
All that tells us is that they’re right of wikipedia, so they could actually be centrist.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.
No it doesn’t. Reality doesn’t have a bias, by defintion. Only your perception does.
That quote means that actual facts are dismissed as leftist ideas by many americans (where Colbert lives).
People that live in denial of reality have a well-known right wing bias. Does it sound better to you?
He’s referencing a Colbert quote

Well Colbert is stupid then.
It’s satire - you really think Colbert means what he said from that time literally?
Maybe? I never watched his show, and there’s a lot of idiots in the world.
Yes honey, you’re smart don’t worry
Hahahahaha
Shit take.

But America is like the most right wing developed country 🤔

Okay, so you are just on the wrong side of Gamergate, got it
