Katherine Maher - The Destroyer
Can you imagine the bubble she lives in where she is so comfortable and assured that her far left opinions represent America?
Over the years I noticed that content on Wikipedia was becoming more and more biased towards left wing positions. And while I have not generated any analytical data to support this, 5 studies, including some by Harvard scholars, have found Wikipedia to have a left wing bias.
Now Katherine Maher, who lead Wikipedia to the left, has moved to NPR where she apparently wants to take NPR even further to the left. She recently forced out a senior editor with 25 years experience for publishing the truth of NPR’s political bias.
NPR survives on our hard earned tax dollars. NPR should return to the center or return our tax dollars.
From City Journal: What you notice first about Maher’s public speech are the buzzwords and phrases: “structural privilege,” “epistemic emergency,” “transit justice,” “non-binary people,” “late-stage capitalism,” “cis white mobility privilege,” “the politics of representation,” “folx.” She supported Black Lives Matter from its earliest days. She compares driving cars with smoking cigarettes. She is very concerned about “toxic masculinity.”
5 Studies Find Wikipedia Bias
Five studies, including two from Harvard researchers, have found a left-wing bias at Wikipedia:
A Harvard study found Wikipedia articles are more left-wing than Encyclopedia Britannica.
Another paper from the same Harvard researchers found left-wing editors are more active and partisan on the site.
A 2018 analysis found top-cited news outlets on Wikipedia are mainly left-wing.
Another analysis using AllSides Media Bias Ratings™ found that pages on American politicians cite mostly left-wing news outlets.
American academics found conservative editors are 6 times more likely to be sanctioned in Wikipedia policy enforcement.
Co-Founder Larry Sanger: Wikipedia is “Badly Biased"
NPR reported $90 million in revenue from “contracts from customers,” a significant portion of its $279 million and much more than 1 percent. Such revenue was exceeded only by corporate sponsorships, which totaled $121 million.
Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger conducted his own bias analysis of the website, saying Wikipedia is “badly biased.”
