"Stop accurately documenting my actual behavior!" - House Repugnicans

[-] compostgoblin 82 points 2 months ago

It’s funny, because they clearly have the idea in their head that Wikipedia is a single organization capable of an ideological bias. When if you take a single look at some talk pages, it would become clear very quickly that Wikipedia is built on people vociferously disagreeing and bringing sources to make the information presented ever more credible and unbiased.

Yeah, that's why they are upset with it.

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago

I remember a time when telling the truth wasn't considered bias by the Republican party. It was the same time when, "conservative speech" didn't mean lies, misinformation, and hate speech.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Must have been a glorious three minutes.

[-] prole 4 points 2 months ago

You can? I certainly cannot.

Back in they day when being a Republican meant more than obstructionism and authoritarianism.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but Lincoln is dead.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

Calling out Republicans for lies and antidemocratic behavior is not "bias".

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago

We're investigating private companies for bias now? Are Truth Social and Fox News next??

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 months ago

Reality has a known liberal bias.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

They'd investigate reality, but that'd be science, which they are opposed to.

[-] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

I mean, we all know that reality has a well known liberal bias...

[-] tabular@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

The answer to any bias in Wikipedia is to cite more verifiable sources, use better sound reasoning and update when newer evidence is found.

The answer is probably not the wishful thinking of one of USA's unrepresentative main parties. To learn about public misrepresentation in government check out a page from Wikipedia.

[-] zerofk@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

They don’t accept verifiable sources. A hundred peer reviewed papers don’t weigh up against a single dissenting voice if that one voice agrees with their views.

These assholes are a drain on society.

[-] ChetManly@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

I know a lot of private companies with bias.... WTF

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 16 points 2 months ago

Even if it was biased: so fucking what? Freedom of speech means they can do jack shit about that anyway.

[-] jali67@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago

Anything that does not fall in line with our propaganda machine is biased or lying!!

[-] Marshezezz 13 points 2 months ago

They continue to do nothing but oppress and waste (steal) money

[-] jali67@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Republican leaders are leeches that society would be better off without

[-] Marshezezz 2 points 2 months ago

Yup, they need to just drop dead

[-] space@reddthat.com 11 points 2 months ago

No they aren't. House republicans can't read. They will just say it's biased and try to force it further right from wherever it currently is without checking.

[-] Goldholz 10 points 2 months ago

Science and history also has a bias that being people like them are wrong

[-] comador@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Do as I say, not as I do!

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

They are just trying to annoy people and micromanage any left leaning or non partisan organization so they give up and just submit to the nazi's.

Don't do it, nothing good comes from giving the nazi's what they want.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

What law does that break?

Edit: Hey downvoter. If you aren't stalking why don't you include a comment on how you think having a bias is in anyway illegal.

[-] redfox@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

Good thing they have all the millions of more important things solved than Wikipedia 😡

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This is slop. Not necessarily AI generated, but definitely dumbass-generated.

Literally not one ounce of effort. No digging into vague studies Republicans are talking about. No overview of Wikipedia's current policy. No questions posed to someone who knows about Wikipedia and/or government attempts to control the narrative.

It's not even a good thing that the article only tells you the core facts. Too much goes unsaid. No context might as well be a hallucination from an AI for how much it bridges the gap between what you think and what reality contains.
