Wikipedia rules. Stop your bickering, kids.

Do you hate knowledge? are you suspicious of people who use polysyllabic words? Your ancestors probably wanted to kill Copernicus for discovering the true nature of the solar system.

Boy, send a kid to college and they think they have the whole world figured out. I predict big disillusionment for you when you get out into the real world. Don't let it get you down.

I've been in the real world for a while now, and as far as I can tell there is an infinite supply of conservative anti-intellectual morons.

Funny how pointing out liberal bias on Wikipedia is anti-intellectualism all of a sudden. If you define terms in your own biased way, you can pretend you have no bias. What a brilliant self-delusion you have.

Please give examples of consistent liberal bias on Wikipedia.

I really like Wikipedia for general knowledge retrieval. I don't use it that much, but when I do and for my purposes, it's usually good.

The information is fairly fact-based, or at least tries to be (these aren't op-eds or anything) so unclear how a liberal bias permeates in its pages.

Seems that B&P wants to stand on his pulpit and crow about liberal bias in the media - Wikipedia I don't think is a great example to use.
