What the hell does the house oversight comitee have to do with a private endeavor?

Even if there was such bias, doesn't the 1st amendment cover it, as it does Fox, for example?

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 43 points 3 months ago
  1. Nothing
  2. They just needed an excuse. You believing it isn't a concern.

forgot about Epstein yet?

There is nothing to investigate, Wikipedia is a private organization and if it has a bias it is none of the government's business.

The party of "small government?" "Don't tread on me?" What the hell happened, Republicans?

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Conservatives only care about small government when they are the ones being oppressed by the federal government. Like when Congress passed laws banning slavery.

But they care about federal laws being forced onto states when they are the ones doing the oppressing. Like when they passed the Fugitive Slave Act.

They don't care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

You forgot the scare quotes around "oppressed."

They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is "of course we're being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?"

They only ever cared about white supremacy. All that other stuff was bullshit.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That’s only when it’s private companies they like.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Every time I see a Don't tread on me flag, 50/50 it's also flown side by side with a thin blue line flag. Makes me cringe

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That was always an obvious lie.

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 56 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd say when open source seems organized against you, you might be the problem.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reality has a non-frothing-at-the-mouth-oblivious-cult-member bias to it

Good thing I downloaded it then because it's probably going to be blocked in the US next.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fuck you fuck you fuck you. Investigate Truth Social, Twitter, the Smithsonian, the FBI, the DOJ, the President, Congress, the DoD, the DoE, the NSA, and the Supreme Court, if you are worried about bias.

Yes, truth and reality have a bias against fascism.

[–] manxu@piefed.social 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Scientific proof that we are in the dumbest timeline.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 months ago

1st amendment mf. Wikipedia can have an article convincing people 2+2=5 if they want and it is protected speech you fascist assholes.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 months ago

aaaand just donated another $100 to Wikipedia.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago (6 children)

If the US tries to kill Wikipedia I'm actually forming a militia

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

Like... You should probably get to work organizing then because they're already doing it.

They're scared of self-governing NGOs and free fonts of knowledge.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 19 points 3 months ago

In other words, they're not publishing the propaganda of the new fascist US government?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The biases:

  1. Calls Israel's genocide a genocide.
  2. Does not state, that the "judeo-christian" god is real, and that the creation myth is real. Does not state that evolution is a "discredited theory", using arguments from the Discovery Institute as citations.
  3. States that trans people exists, citations point to actual studies, articles don't automatically redirect to an article about "narcissistic personality disorder", currently existing article on NPD does not list "gender confusion" as a potential sympthom, and no links to websites of christian "psychologists" (read: theologists with a doctorate) offering "therapy" (read: exorcism, forced prayer, forced conversion to fundamentalist christianity.
  4. Does not call liberalism a "childish psychosis".
  5. Lists actual COVID death numbers, does not call mRNA vaccines "modified RNA", does not reserve autism spectrum disorder only for boys that are extremely low functioning.

On July 4, 2026, nothing happened on Lafayette Square in Washington, DC, USA.

(And if something happened, its because they were viOlEnT riOToRs and we had to send in the tanks to restore LaW aNd oRdEr!!!)

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 months ago

Organized bias is illegal? Of course in this context its simply the truth.

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

Selfhosters, that is your cue if you haven't already made at least a local mirror

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

"organized bias" lmfao. Did you you mean jewish lobbies getting people fired and Israeli state flooding google ads with war propaganda?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

So the truth is organized bias?!?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Oh look, it's HUAC II!
