Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has confessed that the site has now become ‘pure Democrat propaganda’ in a new interview with the Epoch Times.
Sanger co-founded Wikipedia with Jimmy Wales in 2001. It was originally set-up to be impartial and free from censorship.
During the interview, Sanger admitted that while the online encyclopedia began with good intentions it is now just another tool to parrot left-wing talking points and censor those who challenge the mainstream narrative.

“Wikipedia made a real effort at neutrality for, I would say, its first five years or so,” said Sanger.
“And then … it began a long, slow slide into what I would call leftist propaganda.”
Summit.news reports: Wikipedia is run by around 125,000 volunteer editors, the vast majority of whom are leftists, with a further 1,000 administrators who enjoy special privileges to block others who go against the grain.
Sanger explained how Wikipedia now serves not just to skew information, but to viciously demonize anyone on the right or anyone deemed to be a “contrarian.”
Wikipedia “casts them as conspiracy theorists, are far right or whatever, when they and their friends and people who know them well would never describe them in that way,” Sanger said.
After banning sources such as Fox News or the Daily Mail, Wikipedia now relies almost entirely on far-left outlets and legacy media sources to determine truth.
“More recently, they’ve gotten rid of almost all conservative news sources as sources for their articles,” he said
“And so as the news media has shifted, and as the establishment, frankly, has shifted more to the left or to the left, the content of Wikipedia has followed suit.”
As we previously highlighted, a perfect example of Wikipedia’s extreme political bias was evident when the website’s editors deliberately sought to bury links between convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton.
The fact that Clinton flew on Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ private jet at least 26 times, which was reported by the media multiple times back in 2016, disappeared from Wikipedia before it was added back in after an outcry.
Editors also sought to scrub any of Epstein’s links to Clinton while amplifying his links to Donald Trump, which were less direct and less damaging.

The “good” tribal member bashing the “bad” tribal member. Nobody cares. Wikipedia was created to revise history. From the get. The only thing that has changed since he left, is the donation now translates into a face lift for someone’s career and utter lack of talent and scruples.
I knew that when about 10 years ago you went through everyone’s bios and did your best to hide every Catholics religion whilst pushing every jew and mislem into the spotlight. Recently you’ve realised it was too obvious and so you have had to replace it. And aside from that your just blatantly discriminatory and twisted in your interpretations of events and motives and outcomes.
It’s always been cabal propaganda. Last name of Sanger – is this cabal creep related to Margaret Sanger who is famous for eugenics & Planned Parenthood? The whole MSM is also cabal propaganda – just like in Nazi Germany.
Remember when Wikipedia was begging for donations….
They still are requesting funding. While they would gladly tear off your tongue and cast you into a political prison, they will also request that you donate a money in order to allow them to purchase more knives and sharpening stones to cut out more tongues.
