Wikipedia Goes Full Censorship As Conservative Media Blocked For Article Sources

Just as President Donald Trump's agenda includes wiping out the government-tech conspiracies that launched and executed millions of censorship moves during the administration of Joe Biden, one already-leftist online source is beginning its own campaign to censor anything conservative.

It is Wikipedia, which has been busy embedding feminism and racial justice in its databanks, labeling Zionism as "colonialism," distorting the history of the Holocaust, concealing details about Hunter Biden' scandals, and has been slammed as "thought police" by one of its own founders, that is taking censorship to its own new level.

A report at Newsbusters said the website platform now has a "protocol that directly and unerringly produces the worst descriptions about conservatives and Republicans by virtually guaranteeing that right-leaning media sources cannot be cited."

Already, its previous CEO, Katherine Maher, pushed it into left field by making sure not a single right-leaning outlet was deemed "reliable."


That's while more than eight of 10 leftist publications are considered reliable.

The report said a study by the Media Research Center Free Speech America discovered the organization "has effectively blacklisted all right-leaning media from being used as source material, exclusively relying on leftist, legacy media notoriously known to spread misinformation and attack opponents of the left."

Blackballed are Breitbart, The Daily Caller, Daily Mail, Newsmax, OANN and the MRC. But leftists including Mother Jones, Pro-Publica and even National Public Radio are approved sources.

"This blatant misinformation means that Wikipedia is purposely feeding Americans information exclusively through the lens of one side of the political spectrum--the left," the report said.

A direct result of the ban on "blacklisted" organizations is that "Conservatives, Republicans and Trump appointees are smeared, maligned and slandered by the most popular online source for information about people."

MRC spokesman Dan Schneider said the effect is that Wikipedia now is "only reliable for pushing a radical narrative."


"The leadership as well as the rank and file editors are in constant overdrive to tear down their political opponents. From the policy issues Wikipedia highlights to the tone their editors use to castigate Trump and his appointees. Wikipedia is obviously designed to indoctrinate Americans into despising anything good and decent about mainstream conservatives," he said.

The report said even now, as Trump's cabinet members are being confirmed by the Senate, "Wikipedia is marring its pages with derogatory misinformation due to the dominance of leftist media sources, poisoning the Senate confirmation process because it exclusively gives fodder to one political faction attempting to discredit Trump's appointments and nominees."

The report said a Media Bias Chart, from AllSides, a media ratings company, lists 29 sites as "lean right" or "right," and Wikipedia disallows every one, by not deeming them "generally reliable." In fact, 22 are "blacklisted."

Those "generally unreliable" include the Washington Free Beacon, New York Post, Federalist and more.

Meanwhile, virtually all of the media sources widely recognized as "left" or such, were considered "generally reliable."
