Talk:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia (view source)
Revision as of 03:58, October 1, 2007
, 03:58, October 1, 2007→"No Entry For 'Liberal' ": reply
:::::: Liberals are not united in their beliefs. The Wikipedia article on liberalism mentions that "liberalism generally opposes government regulation of literature, art, academics, gambling, sex, prostitution, abortion, birth control, terminal illness, alcohol, and cannabis and other controlled substances." How clear can you get? They're not being biased. You may wish that the article included more criticism toward liberals, and no doubt liberals would like the article on "Conservatism" to be more negative, but WIkipedia's internal processes smooth out the edges of personal opinion to keep both articles factual.

:::::: I know many liberals and while a portion support "taxpayer-funded abortion" and censorship of prayers, many do not (a small minority of my liberal friends would support prayer censorship of any religion). It is unbiased to report that liberal philosophy "generally supports" something. It would be equally unfair to attempt to attempt to portray conservatives as gun nuts or fascists because most are not. As a libertarian conservative, I would hate to be lumped in with the fringe weirdos within my philosophy.[[User:Archibald|Archibald]] 23:50, 30 September 2007 (EDT)

::::::: At least 95% of [[liberals]] support taxpayer-funded [[abortion]] and censorship of [[prayer]] in [[public school]]. You'd be hard-pressed to identify counterexamples. It's a [[deceit]] to describe what a [[liberal]] is and to leave that out, as [[Wikipedia]] does.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:58, 30 September 2007 (EDT)
