Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger said in a recent interview that the site has become little more than “propaganda” and denounced what he called its “reliably establishment” bias.

Speaking to online blog UnHerd last week, Sanger said Wikipedia “seems to assume that there is only one legitimate defensible version of the truth on any controversial question,” adding that the predominant perspective presented on the site is left-leaning.
