Wikipedia has a liberal bias (1 Viewer)

Sadly there are way too many examples to list them all but here is one of them:

1. Wikipedia changes the meaning of a key quote from an abortion-breast cancer article in the Lancet medical journal (Beral, et al.), falsely stating that it "concluded that abortion does not increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer."[14] The Lancet article said no such thing about a woman's decision to have an abortion, which does increase the woman's risk of breast cancer. Rather, the Lancet article limited its assertion to a claim about the overall effect of a pregnancy that terminates early.[15]

So? It's a community driven site. People who are younger and know how to use computers tend to be democrats.

You are disputing that younger people lean left? And younger people are more technically engaged than older people?

Jeez....the right really has no idea what it is doing

When most people disagree with you, it's quite natural to feel that most things are biased against you.

You know what REALLY sucks? How reality has a CLEAR liberal bias. Total bs!

Sorry..but the words "liberal" and "reality" just cannot co-exist in the same sentence (except when explaining how they can't coexist in the same sentence).

 

[butcher boy]

That's true. The problem for conservatives is that most of them are either too old to work a computer or are busy fixing the trans-am that's parked out on the lawn.

Most of them are actually, y'know, working.

tim this is why its hard to respect any argument you have because its always emotional, and never logical.

how about instead of mocking where the information came from (many places besides just conservapedia have similar info) you discuss the issue at hand?

If have to say that liberals probably work as hard if not harder in my professional experience... But the conservatives by and large worked smarter.

That's a broad broad generalization, but my take.

Yeah, all of this has everything to do with the internet.

I think they are saying liberals don't work and have no money. Especially in the Tech industry.

Technically we are talking about Liberals, not necessarily liberals.

that was a serious question...i really don't know whom is supposed to be whom and what it means to be one or the other

They don't know either. I'm just trying to help them out.

What it means to be liberal?

• You expect others to pay for things for you
• You barely work
• You tell others you're all for Freedom of Speech while trying to shut down opposing speech
• You love taxes. In fact, your motto is "No tax is too high"
• You love spending everyone else's money except your own
• You preach about global warming while jetsetting around the world (only the rich liberals for this one)
• You want to redistribute everyone else'e wealth ("wealth" meaning anything over the poverty line) except your own

Gosh, I could go on forever. anyone else want to add to the list?

Don't try to confuse them with the facts. Tomorrow the entry could be changed by someone on the right to read how the OP thinks it should be. Wiki is considered a point of reference but is not taken as gospel or the last word on any subject matter by most people.

How about "we spend all day instead of working posting talking points from so-called conservative websites because we think we are conservatives"?

Start your own thread and those who are like minded can all give their informative views on liberals in it.

Wikipedia has a bias towards reality. Reality has a liberal bias. Ergo, Wikipedia has a liberal bias.

In theory, Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written by disinterested volunteers based on reliable secondary sources. However, because Google will rank a Wikipedia article as the first result when a person searches on the article's title, public relations firms and "reputation management" companies work hard to remove any negative or controversial facts from Wikipedia articles relating to their clients. Although such paid editing is not allowed, Wikipedia does little to enforce its rules against paid editing and there are numerous examples of paid editors introducing biased content on behalf of their clients. Wikipedia selectively fails to enforce its ban on paid editing when the payments come from its large donors.

You were the one who said that you could go on forever and asked others to contribute, so you take this OT discussion elsewhere.

I'd love to see him go on forever about it. Because it would totally make him hypocritical.

A post like this only undercuts any legitimate points you may bring up on the subjected. It's just laughable and renders your opinion moot to a large degree.

I know a lot a very well intended Libs and Conservatives. libs and conservatives, too. If you can honestly debate ideology in a way that doesn't prevent you from governing affectively, great.

But stupid #### like Libs are just money sucking lazy welfare lovers is as bad as all conservatives are racist white men (it's most. But I kid?)

Whats so wrong about legitimate ####### dialogue?

Disagree and I have witnessed you personally attack people in a degrading matter just solely on them being conservative or religious, so you lost all credibility a long time ago, friend

Nothing whatsoever. But generalizations are so much more humorous!

Some people say comedy is a gene. I think I got it.
