Line 1:
Line 1: − + − Wikipedia has been accused by Conservapedia of many biased entries. The article detailing these is found here: [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia]]. Wikipedia aims to reperesent a neutral point of view - a neutral point of view is a fundamental Wikipedia principle - however, there are a few articles that do not represent the neutral point of view. This happens partly due to Wikipedia's open nature, sometimes being accused by Conservapedians of having 'ingrained' liberal bias. Due to the open nature anyone who finds a biased article is encouraged to change the article to a neurtal point of view. This accidental bias differs from the Conservapedia, that defines itself as "a conservative encyclopedia" so will aim to be biased to the right even if it means sacrificing accuracy in its documents.+ + +

==Wikipedia and Bias==
==Wikipedia is not Bias==
Having a site that is called Conservapedia is Bias. Obviously something any intelligent person could see is that Conservapedia approaches everything from a conservative point of view, thus the biasness. Wikipedia, on the other hand, approaches everything with a neutral point of view and sticks to it. Plus who in their right mind would use this site for serious purposes? It's just asking for vandalism!
This site was made by a ridiculous person who has a closed-minded and very narrow thinking process.
