You can notice a bias towards the state media from pro-capitalist regimes from the above.

    Yes, because the “easily-notable bias” is just a result of discussions done at different times to different evidence, and claiming bias is an overgeneralization.

      Bias just means that you have a worldview, which everyone has whether they acknowledge it or not simply by living and existing in the real world.

        Ok, but I wasn’t the one implying Wikipedia editors as a group are biased.

          They are. Everyone has a bias.

            Me:

            as a group

            You:

            everyone

            Groups usually cancel bias. And the leftover bias is not “easily notable”

              Groups do not cancel bias. Wikipedia is overwhelmingly western, which becomes a western bias. Groups reinforce bias.

      I genuinely don’t know what you people even think bias is at this point
