But I would say this, as a whole, Wikipedia has what I call a framework now.

You could call it a bias, I suppose, although I think a framework is slightly different from a bias.

I won't get into that anyway, but the framework I call GASP.

So globalist, academic, secular, and progressive, right?

So globalist in the sense of like multinational institutions trying to impose their will on the globe, right?

Academic, meaning whatever is the leading view among academics is presented as fact.

Minority views, if they're permitted at all, which sometimes they aren't, are labeled as such or disdained.

Let's see.

Secular means essentially that...

In articles about religious topics, especially anything that is a point of controversy that essentially historical, critical Bible scholars, for example, and other secular scholars in philosophy or in religion discuss,

They tend to assume methodological naturalism, which means basically you can't assume or assert that anything supernatural has happened at all, which is as prejudicial as it sounds.

And then P in GASP stands for progressive.

Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules
And well, I guess that doesn't really need a lot of explanation.
Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules
more or less know what that means.

There are lots of examples that you can give on all of these points.

But a good recent example is something that I would call progressive is the Gaza genocide article.

In this article, in the first paragraph, if you read it over, you will see that Wikipedia claims in what's called WikiVoice, in its own voice, that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.

does not represent, even to attribute to them, the Israeli view on the subject.

And so it's clearly biased against the Israeli point of view, which is also held by a lot of Americans.
