Examples of Bias in Wikipedia: Obama (view source)
Revision as of 03:40, May 24, 2020
, 03:40, May 24, 2020Added two examples of bias in Wikipedia's coverage of Obama. One regarding the omission of a well-known portrait controversy, and one regarding the contrast in tone toward Trump as compared to Obama.
# Wikipedia does not make any mention of the man who influenced Obama, [[John Maynard Keynes]]' known [[deceit|fraud]] and pedophilia.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Maynard_Keynes</ref>

#Wikipedia's Template:Infobox and elsewhere still maintains the fiction that [[Barack Hussein Obama]] was a "Professor of Constitutional Law," whereas [[White House]] Press Secretary [[Robert Gibbs]] has flatly denied Obama ever taught constitutional law.

# Wikipedia's article<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Barack_Obama_(painting)</ref> regarding Kehinde Wiley's official portrait of Obama makes no mention of the artist's history of painting overtly [[racist]] works in which [[white people]] are being beheaded <ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/artists/obama-portrait-painterkehinde-wileys-past-work-depicted-black/</ref>, despite this fact causing considerable controversy when the painting was originally unveiled.
# Wikipedia's article on [[Donald Trump]] is a hit piece consisting mainly of negative statements and allegations, including an entire section<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump#False_statements</ref> dedicated to how "fact-checkers" and "academics" from [[CNN]] and other [[left-wing]] news outlets have concluded that Trump has made 18,000 false statements since taking office (though no examples are listed), a ridiculous allegation which is presented as fact by Wikipedia. Obama's article, by contrast, paints a glowing image of the former president and contains no such section regarding "false statements", even though Obama was frequently derided for making false statements while in office <ref>https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/list/?category=&ruling=false&speaker=barack-obama</ref>.
