You can notice a bias towards the state media from pro-capitalist regimes from the above.

    Bias just means that you have a worldview, which everyone has whether they acknowledge it or not simply by living and existing in the real world.

      Ok, but I wasn’t the one implying Wikipedia editors as a group are biased.

        They are. Everyone has a bias.

          Me:

          as a group

          You:

          everyone

          Groups usually cancel bias. And the leftover bias is not “easily notable”

            Groups do not cancel bias. Wikipedia is overwhelmingly western, which becomes a western bias. Groups reinforce bias.
