5 Times Studies Proved Wikipedia’s Left-Wing Bias

The response you quoted was to the argument the OP tries to push.

And yes. I absolutely research the validity of my arguments. If you can point out to any of my arguments and you have specific questions, I will not only be happy to answer, but feel compelled to do so. What I do ask in exchange is that, you either convincingly rebut my statements or accept them. As the NB says, I don't claim to always be right. But if you think you can provide an argument that might prove me wrong, you damn well better be prepared.

This thread is not about me. My claim doesn't require much research at all. We can see it in facts that have been confirmed in the past. The right claimed that Covid 19 is just the flu, and it will go away soon.... the left (and Wikipedia) claims it would be here for more than a year and would kill hundreds of thousands of people.... guess who was right? The right claimed that AGW was made up by the left and that there would be none of the dire consequences that "the left" (and Wikipedia) alerted us about (increased number of hurricanes, increased number of forest fires, melting of ice caps, see level rising, ... and so on)... Guess who was right? The left claimed that Trump committed obstruction of justice, and that the Mueller Report would provide ample proof of this, the right denied it (some, believe it or not, still deny it... they refuse to believe their "lyin' eyes?") And on and on and on.... I could go forever. The dangers of smoking, HIV, asbestos, Evolution, .... The right has a horrendous history of being wrong. Not that the left is always right but, for goodness sake, the difference is so obvious.

If this is so prevalent in the past, what would make any rational human being believe that it would not be the same in the future?

Of course, the left "cheats". Because all we do is repeat what scientists and experts tell us. Which gives us a definite advantage. So yes, reality does have a tendency to favor the left. Maybe it's just a historical abnormality that the right has gotten so many things wrong, but it is a fact that, at this point in history, the right's disdain for facts is extremely notable.

Now, if you are not espousing the opinion on the OP, and instead wanted to change the subject. Make the thread about me, and not about the nonsense on the OP, count me out.

 

As does science lols!

Considering the source was Brightfart I truly doubt the veracity

 

Yeah! We cheat. We just repeat what science and experts tell us. It's what allows us to be right most of the time.

 

Oh! Dear! That does explain a few things!






We are ALL guilty of “worldview bias” but the best ways of dealing with it are to acknowledge this and try to use as many sources as possible

 

Nowhere has that been more noticeable than during this pandemic. The consistent dismissal of facts and science is, in part, the cause of so many deaths in the USA

 

When you guys figure out that biology says a male has a penis and a female has a vag, then you can claim some monopoly of science

 

Oh Dear! Is that your view of science?

Explains a lot

 

And? It's not "my view" it's a branch of science known as biology.

 

So do I. I do note the sheer condescending bicoastal liberal elite attitude in those words we responded to as if they are simply censoring us for our own good so we don’t harm our minds with what they deem to be not suitable for our consumption.

 

Liberalism, ideas so good they are mandatory!

 

Such sheer condescending arrogance toward people who hold to ideas different than your own.

 

We will get our news and social media exposure from where we decide we want to get it from and on our own terms. You will dictate nothing to us as to what is suitable to us for these things. Your side tries to content control a platform like Facebook or Twitter and we simply move to USA.Life and Parler and cease dialogue with your side completely as I said before. We will literally create in a different way what John Edwards once referred to as two America’s in one nation, a red one and a blue one rather than live in one as 2nd class on your terms.

 

Then you have not delved deeply into that subject because sexual dimorphism is a lot more complex than you are suggesting

 

No

Cognitive bias is common among all people. It is part of how our brains work but those who have been taught critical analysis can often look beyond this to weigh facts more fairly

 

Oh! Dear!
Who is “dictating” to whom?

 

Awww Diddums!

Is the big bad Libruls sending out mind signals!!

 

There is no more biased bigoted, unfair and unscientific so called fact checker site than the one you used. Media Bias Fact Check is a place for the weak minded and intellectually lazy to use in order to content control views on economics, science, religion, and politics one disagrees with and would rather silence than spend what little intellectual capital they have debating ideas that they don’t like. MBFC like the gate keepers at Facebook and Twitter are simply censorship tools for the establishment media.

 

I’m not dictating anything to you except that you will not dictate anything to me. Me saying you wo t dictate to me is not me dictating to you.

 

Oh come on now! There are at least 14,000 different genders regardless of of penis or vagina. We are bigots if we deny it just as we are if we don’t let grown men thinking they are women go to the bathroom and shower room with girls and women.

 

And your response is wrong.

And yet your post was unable to actually answer the question.

^Playing the victim so soon? Especially since it wasn't about you, it was about your claim that reality has a liberal bias. Reality is defined as

The Left claims that we should shut down large groupings of people because they can spread COVID but somehow claims COVID doesn't spike after protests.

Even then it's also been fairly well documented many of those deaths were caused by something else and that the numbers are being inflated for political reasons. I don't know to what level it's happening but it IS happening.

Is your entire argument based on the fact that you think the left has been correct more than the right and therefore all of reality must be biased towards the left? Was reality right-leaning when Clinton was caught with an intern and the left made every effort to say it was okay? Was reality right-leaning when Obama started putting kids in cages near the border? Does reality have a right-wing basis when more liberals are caught up in #MeToo than conservatives? This is the very definition of false equivalence. I guess what I'm saying is that I question your logic. Reality is neither left-leaning NOR right - it simply IS and not all your feelings can change that.

Interesting. You yourself make a post that cannot be well defended, I question that post, and your defense is that I'm changing the subject - when I'm questioning the very subject you brought up/the post in which you changed the subject. It's like you're triggered by someone discussing the very idea you posted because you know you cannot adequately defend it. Baffling.

 

Sure, some quack "science" BS.
Men impregnate, women gestate. It's pretty simple if you are not catering to mental illness. You might want to look into chromosomes for instance.

 

There was one other thing I forgot to mention while posting - although in my defense my wife wanted dinner and She Who Must Be Obeyed always comes first. Nevertheless, the very idea that reality has some kind of bias, is defined by political beliefs - as if all of reality falls sway to what human beings, a group of living organisms that are in the overall scheme of things a completely insignificant part of the cosmos, is pretty much the height of hubris. That reality itself must lean the very same way your own political beliefs fall is a kind of pride almost legendary in scope and scale. Were every human being to disappear from existence, would reality itself change? Nah - it'd just keep going on much as before save you wouldn't see as many empty McDonalds coffee cups on the sides of the empty streets. If reality had a political bias of any kind, then reality itself would sway and change depending upon who was right and wrong - and sometimes both sides can be wrong. Does reality collapse at that point? Good grief. "Reality agrees with what I believe." Geez.

As far as Wiki - or as another poster would say, "And, back ON-topic ... " Yeah, @modernpaladin is correct. Wiki is a nice place to START researching something but it's actually the links embedded in the articles that are much more useful. Anyone simply relying on a source that can be edited by anyone - especially one that might have an agenda - probably shouldn't be trusted in the long run. I mean, when the founder of Wiki says it ain't neutral anymore, maybe the studies have some merit?

 

Oh? Got an example of that happening?

 

Read the linked article and find out....

 

What question?

Quote somebody of relevance on "the left" that claims that COVID doesn't spike due to protests.

You won't! So next time you feel the urge to make a nonsensical statement, make sure you can support it!

It's obvious that you don't know. Because if you had bothered to research facts using reputable sources (i.e. not Breitbart) you would have known that Covid deaths are tabulated when Covid is a contributing factor. In other words, even if the person died of something else, if this was aggravated by Covid, it is listed as a "contributing cause" Because, if it hadn't been for Covid, that person would not have died.

What is documented, is that the number of Covid deaths have been undercounted. But that's a whole different topic that has been amply discussed in the Covid Forum

So admitting that you don't know something does not make an absurd statement any less absurd.

Fail!

This is a moral question. There is no objective right or wrong answer. And it has nothing to do with political tendency.

Quote somebody on the left saying that it was OK! The most anybody said was that it was "unavoidable" (no alternative at that point). You keep making wild unsubstantiated claims. And it's obvious that you just repeat what you hear on wingnut media, but have no idea what you're talking about.

Huh????

Look.... you're not even trying to make sense anymore. Your desperation is obvious.

All you provide is a list of bad things (I think, because the last one I didn't even understand) and claim that "the left" supported them. But show no evidence. So your desperation, list of unsubstantiated false statements and lack of arguments make my case.

Thanks for playing...
