Re: Wikipedia's political bias problem

Are the Wikipedians keeping their article on Bruce Ohr because he is a significant individual in world history? His role in current events being sufficiently large that his specific within them is established such that their often invoked ethical concerns over having an article on someone known for only one thing, can be overcome? (WP:BLP1E)
Of course not. He is kept, immortalised forever, because having a specific page dedicated to broadcasting the message 'OMFG Trump wants to ruin this man's career', fits with their political ideology and the overall reason why they edit Wikipedia. Namely to partizanly influence politics rather than dispassionately document history, even near history.
Even after all this time, the meagre amount of content Wikipedia has to offer the reader, masquerading as a biography, is evidence that when it comes to their desire to bash Trump, their usual ideas about how to better present such material (as a mere section in a more relevant article) are easily overidden.
As the corrupt and wholly biased Administrator put it when someojne dared try to delete it on those well established ethical grounds....

Quite.I think you should withdraw this so we can get on with it. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 02:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
