Even the co-founder of Wikipedia (Larry Sanger) admits that Wikipedia's NPOV (Neutral Point of View) is long dead and forgotten.

He used examples such as:

Obama's article fails to list all the scandals, and Hillary's is spun heavily, while Trump's had 5,224 unflattering words and listed many debunked scandals.
Their abortion article says things like, "When properly done, abortion is one of the safest procedures in medicine".
Lies of omission on negative consequences of drug legalization policies, totally pro-LGBT adoption policies, their article on historical Jesus has many opinions as fact, and their pro-Vaccine position or Global warming omits or discounts the opposing views.

Of course this lack of balance doesn't matter to progressives; they believe that their narratives is not only the most valid one, but often the only valid one. While those with a little more worldly cultural breadth and that live or at least visit outside the left's provincial enclaves, know better.
