Co-founder of Wikipedia says it is now a "leftist propaganda" outlet.

As another proof point that the conservative counter punch is in progress, the centrist thinker who co-founded Wikipedia now admits it has undertaken a "long, slow slide into ... leftist propaganda".


"Wikipedia made a real effort at neutrality for, I would say, its first five years or so. And then … it began a long, slow slide into what I would call leftist propaganda,” says Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger.

What was the original vision for Wikipedia? And why did its neutrality policy collapse?

Sanger says he’s now working on creating a new decentralized network, a “superset of all encyclopedias.”

“We need a democratic revolution in tech,” he says.

 

The first step toward healing is to admit there is a disease.
