Snip:
Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger accused the CIA and corporate actors of editing the online encyclopedia to serve state and institutional interests during an interview with the German daily Berliner Zeitung published on 7 August.
“I believe Wikipedia is already compromised,” Sanger said.
He added that the platform was identified early as a propaganda instrument, and that its anonymity rule made it easy to use as such.

“The powerful are very interested in Wikipedia,” he said, describing the site’s pseudonyms as a mask, saying that the platform treats the positions of institutions such as the World Economic Forum and the World Bank as established fact.
Lmao this dude is all over the place. The CIA is editing wikipedia but then making it sound like wikipedia’s progressive bias on palestine comes from that? Nonsense lmao. Correct about the cia though
Correct, but still a dumb asshole
wtf lol
Objectively true compared to the average westerner, it’s had a leading edge. That’s the general meaning of “progressive” in the west, essentially “slightly left of the political spectrum”.
