    Allowing only western sources is not truly trying to maintaining a neutral pov as all sources have a bias

      Does Wikipedia really only allow Western sources? I don’t know if that’s true

        wikipedia considers government propaganda sources like the BBC and Voice of America (dont laugh) to be reliable, as long as they’re western government propaganda sources.

            Wikipedia heavily favors western news sources as “less biased” than non-western equivalents. Look at the text of the post you’re commenting in.
