::::* What you need to compare, if anything, compare the percentages of the overall population. Because with your math it doesn't matter if there are 66% conservatives in a population vs 33% liberals, or 12% vs 6%, or two conservatives vs one liberal.

We had an editing conflict, so here my answer to your question on how to difine liberal bias.
* You say '''Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American public.'''.
* This means you compare Liberals to the American public.
* The American public includes Liberals, Moderates, and Conservatives.
* What you need to campare is percentage of liberals in America, vs the percentage if liberally biased articles in Wikipedia. To obtain figure for the latter just look at 100 random pages (or better 1000), and count the pages that have a liberal bias. Done. --[[User:Order|Order] 18 March, 12:10 (AEST)
