==Wikipedia and Bias==
Wikipedia has been accused by Conservapedia of containing 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 several articles that do not represent this neutral point of view. This happens partly due to Wikipedia's open nature. Wikipedia is also accused (by some) of having 'ingrained' liberal bias. Wikipedia differs from Conservapedia in its bias, as Conservapedia defines itself as "a conservative encyclopedia", aiming to be centered towards the right.
