Jimmy Wales

Something like, you know, Wikipedia has banned all conservative sources.

And it's like, yeah, if you think the Wall Street Journal is a communist rag, then yeah, maybe so.

But like, we haven't banned all conservatives.

That's nonsense.

At the same time, you know, it's sort of like, OK, let's grapple with it.

This is always my approach is like, OK, if there's a complaint, let's figure it out.

Like, let's assume good faith in the complainer to start.

Right.

And then you dig in a bit and then you're like, oh, OK, actually, nothing here.

And in other cases, you're like, oh, hold on.

Let's chew on this a bit more.

Well, and I do think like one of the issues is we do have a rise in low quality media.

I would say that the right, just objectively speaking, has a few more of those that have gotten quite popular.

And it's not about the left or right bias of that outlet.

We can cope with that.

But it's like, oh, what about the quality?

Like, are you correcting errors?

Are you running inflammatory stories that don't hold up?

You know, I've been saying, like, if any sort of right wing billionaires want to start funding some kind of really high quality, thoughtful, intellectual, conservative media, I think that would be a good thing.

Because the right deserves better than some of this crap that they're following.
