Co-founder of Wikipedia Larry Sanger has a message for the site’s users: beware, it’s overloaded with liberal propaganda and counteracts democracy.

“In short, and with few exceptions, only globalist, progressive mainstream sources - and sources friendly to globalist progressivism - are permitted,” Sanger wrote in an article titled “Wikipedia is more one-sided than ever.”

It is no secret that much of [Big Tech](https://humanevents.com/2021/07/01/big-tech-bites-down-on-mrna-vaccine-inventor-who-warned-about-risks/) and the world-wide-web has a bias against conservatives, so this doesn’t come as much of a surprise.

“It is not too far to say that Wikipedia, like many other deeply biased institutions of our brave new digital world, has made itself into a kind of thought police that has de facto shackled conservative viewpoints with which they disagree,” he added. “Democracy cannot thrive under such conditions: I maintain that Wikipedia has become an opponent of vigorous democracy.”

Sanger cited examples like the entries for Black Lives Matter, the 2020 election and Trump’s two impeachment, according to *[Just the News](https://justthenews.com/accountability/cancel-culture/tuewikipedia-more-one-sided-ever-co-founder-warns?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter)**.* He also indicated that conservative sites like *Fox News*, the *New York Post* and *The Federalist* are banned as official sources.

“Those might be contrarian or conservative, but they are hardly ‘radical’; they are still mainstream,” he wrote. “So, how on earth can such viewpoints ever be given an airing on Wikipedia? Answer: often, they cannot, not if there are no ‘reliable sources’ available to report about them.”
