WIKIPEDIA IS THE WORLD’S LARGEST ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA AND ONE OF THE MOST VISITED WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET – GARNERING MORE THAN A BILLION VISITORS EACH MONTH.

IT’S FAST. EASY. AND OFTEN THE FIRST SUGGESTION IN YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS FOR – YOU NAME IT.

BUT IS THE LARGEST ONLINE RESOURCE –

PROVIDING THE WORLD WITH BIASED RESULTS?

FOR YEARS NOW – THIRD PARTY INSTITUTES AND ANALYSES SAY YES –

WIKIPEDIA HAS A LEFT-LEANING SKEW WITHIN ITS CONTENT.

BUT NOW A DAILY CALLER REPORT SUGGESTS WIKIPEDIA’S OWNER “WIKI-MEDIA” IS PAYING LEFT-WING ORGANIZATIONS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEIR SPIN –

BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE FOUNDATION’S MOST RECENT TAX FORMS.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS SORT OF SCREEN ON THE SITE BEFORE.

THIS SCREENSHOT TAKEN JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE THIS STORY PUBLISHED –

SHOWING WIKIPEDIA ASKING FOR DONATIONS.

THE DAILY CALLER OBTAINING THE WIKIMEDIA’S TAX RECORDS TO FIND OUT WHERE SOME OF THIS MONEY IS GOING.

HERE’S A LIST OF SOME OF THE NON-PROFITS RECEIVING GRANT MONEY FROM WIKIPEDIA’S OWNER.

ART AND FEMINISM, BLACK LUNCH TABLE, AND WHOSE KNOWLEDGE, WERE AMONG THE TOP RECEIVERS – EACH GARNERING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS –

WITH THE PURPOSE OF EACH GRANT BEING “TO SUPPORT WORK TO FURTHER MISSION.”

SO WHAT ARE THE MISSIONS?

ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN WEBSITES – EDITING WIKIPEDIA PAGES AND ARTICLES WITH LEFTIST IDEOLOGIES.

TAKE THIS INSTAGRAM POST BY ART AND FEMINISM.

PROMOTING A GUIDE ON HOW TO BEST WRITE ON “TRANSGENDER, TRAVESTI, AND “LGBQ PLUS” PEOPLE.

AND UNDER THE “ABOUT” SECTION OF THEIR WEBSITE –

“When cis and trans women, non-binary people, Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities are not represented in the writing and editing on the tenth-most-visited site in the world, information about people like us gets skewed and misrepresented. The stories get mistold. We lose out on real history. That’s why we’re here: to change it.

Since 2014, over 20,000 people at more than 1,500 events around the world have participated in our edit-a-thons, resulting in the creation and improvement of more than 100,000 articles on Wikipedia and its sister projects.

THE NON-PROFIT “WHOSE KNOWLEDGE” HAS SIMILAR GOALS.

IT’S “ABOUT US” SECTION SAYING “most public knowledge online has so far been written by white men from Europe and North America”.

“WHOSE KNOWLEDGE? IS A RADICAL RE-IMAGINING AND RE-DESIGN OF THE INTERNET, SO THAT TOGETHER WE BUILD AND DEFEND AN INTERNET OF, FOR, AND BY ALL.”

AND ON THEIR INSTAGRAM PAGE –

A POST CELEBRATING THEIR INITIATIVE “DECOLONIZING THE INTERNET” –

“bringing thousands of images of women and non-binary people to Wikimedia Commons through (HASHTAG) #VisibleWikiWomen.”

THE NON-PROFIT “BLACK LUNCH TABLE” IS ANOTHER GIVEN MORE THAN 300 THOUSAND DOLLARS BY WIKIMEDIA.

THEY’RE WEBSITE INDICATING THE GROUP ALSO HOLDS “EDIT-A-THONS” –

TO “CREATE AND IMPROVE” WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES TO BETTER REPRESENT BLACK ARTISTS.

THE DAILY CALLER’S INVESTIGATION REVEALS WHEN FOLLOWING WIKIPEDIA’S DOLLARS – IT LEADS TO SPENDING THAT BENEFITS LEFTIST ORGANIZATIONS **EDITING WIKIPEDIA AS PART OF ITS MISSIONS.

FOR YEARS NOW – WIKIPEDIA HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR A LEFTIST LEAN –

STARTING WITH ITS LEADERSHIP.

IT’S CO-FOUNDER –  LARRY SANGER – HAS BEEN VOCAL ABOUT HOW WIKIPEDIA HAS STRAYED FROM HIS INTENTIONS OF THE SITE.

SAYING IT’S BIASED – AND QUOTE “CERTAIN POINTS OF VIEW HAVE BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY SILENCED.”

ITS CEO FROM 2016 TO 2021 – KATHERINE MAHER (mar) – HAD SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE FOR WIKIPEDIA TO BE “FREE AND OPEN” AND WORKED WITH GOVERNMENTS TO SUPPRESS WHAT IT DEEMED AS “MISINFORMATION” ON THE SITE.

SHE NOW HEADS OPERATIONS AT NPR.

AND THE CURRENT CEO Maryana Iskander – CAME TO WIKIMEDIA AFTER BEING THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD.

WIKIMEDIA, ART AND FEMINISM, WHOSE KNOWLEDGE, AND BLACK LUNCH TABLE, DID NOT RESPOND TO MEDIA REQUESTS FOR COMMENT.
