You mean the young and the clueless who were educated by leftwing zealots?
I learned this morning that Wikipedia only mines left wing media and does not mine any centre or right leaning media.
No more donations from me.

I recently donated $50 to Wikipedia. Worth every cent.

Never did. Never will. Far too biased.
But don't just take my word for it. How about the words of the co founder, Larry Sanger.

Wouldn't want dividends being paid unnecessarily to the increasing number of uninsurable locations.

This article is about the ancient Semitic deity of weather and war in the ancient Levant. For the ancient Semitic religion of ancient Israel and Judah, see Yahwism. For the modern Jewish and Christian conception of Yahweh, see God in Judaism and God in Christianity. For the Hebrew theonym YHWH and its vocalization, see Tetragrammaton. For other uses, see Yahweh (disambiguation).
Sanger's own religious bias is clearly exposed by the preface to Wikipedia's article. He seems to be peeved that Wikipedians don't devote any special reverence to his preferred deity.
On the subject of "systemic bias in favor of liberals and Democrats against conservatives and Republicans", let's not forget that you are the one who made the bizarre claim, in that other forum, that Wikipedians were conspiring to darken Trump's White House mugshot. Bwahaha!

That post is a good example of selective bias.
Sanger was noting the lack of references to Christian and Judaism in THAT article only.
It was not about pumping his personal deity.
He acknowledged that it was mentioned in other articles.
That being the case, it is irrelevant.
What is more scientific and important is the comprehensive analysis if wikis bias. Proven by fact.
Re Trump, who I personally dislike is exactly what America needs at this time. No one can argue with his five pillars of MAGA.
youll probably try. And fail.
BTW, is your handle a reflection of your personality? Seems so.

I asked ChatGPT if it was left biased based on its mining of wiki data.
Quote So in sum: yes, there is measurable bias and a tendency in many cases toward left-leaning or progressive viewpoints.
There ya go

Wikipedia devotes a whole topic to Christians and Yahweh, and another whole topic to Jews and YHWH. That's perfectly fine by me.
And nobody needs Trump, least of all America. In 10 years' time China will be at the top and MAGA will be a forgotten fantasy.

If I had my life over again, I would be like Dorian Gray, or Trump for that matter. All my life I've been Mr Nice Guy, and people have taken advantage of me. In fact, I've nearly lost my life twice while helping others. I still help people every day, and I have been doing so for the past 30 years. However, I no longer make friends or trust anyone because only your friends and those whom you trust can betray you. Trump pisses on everyone, friends and foes alike, and look where he is. I've learned too late that the secret to a long, prosperous life is to be a ruthless, hedonistic, womanising psychopath, just like Trump. In effect, that's what Dorian Gray is. On the outside I look 10 years younger than I am, but on the inside I feel decades older and very bitter. That's the essence of it.

We have lived in the same block of Units close on four decades. We can vouch for the typical attitude of pretty much all owner occupiers, owner investors & renters.
They are all exteralizers, takers, think the building is a hotel. Been here long enough to notice that it is also getting worse. That started ramping up a decade ago.
We will still do everything & make sure all building maintenance is done properly. We have even had some owners try to fleece the building for substantial sums. They didn't realise how long our history of knowing what work had or had not been done over the decades. Also including work before we moved in.
I know we are idiots.

Bitterness is no good to anyone and only damages the person who feels it.
Seek some counselling, try to come to terms with your past and you will become a much happier person.

There is a medical condition called Dorian Gray Syndrome.
Based on some of your posts, particularly the last one, I suspect you are aware of it.
A mental health professional can assist you following a referral by your GP.
You know how the story ends. It doesnt have to be that way.
Good luck Dorian

Bill Gates makes an about turn on climate change. Seems he found some common sense.
From the New York Post.
Hes taken criticism for flying around the globe to trumpet our impending doom due to climate change in a $70 million private jet that spews around 450 gallons of fuel per hour, a hypocrisy he acknowledges in his post but assures he offsets his own staggering carbon footprint with legitimate carbon credits.
Astonishingly, Gates goes so far as to point out that cold not heat is a far greater threat to humanity, writing, surprisingly, excessive cold is far deadlier, killing nearly ten times more people every year than heat does.
He even noted some of the ways the obsessive focus on lowering greenhouse gas emissions has negatively impacted the very groups climate alarmists have warned would suffer most due to rising global temperatures.
What will Bowen say to that?
Never did. Never will. Far too biased.
But don't just take my word for it. How about the words of the co founder, Larry Sanger.

But don't just take his words for it. How about a scientific study on it.

As a person with a lot of shares in insurance. I am glad the insurance companies are taking it seriously. Luckily companies have a duty to their shareholders.
