Episode notes
Data Reveals Systematic Political Bias
- David Rosado's data showed systematic political sentiment bias on Wikipedia favoring left-leaning figures.
- Ashley Rindsberg used that statistical finding to investigate how bias operates across many articles.
Wikimedia's 2017 Mission Shift
- Around 2017 Wikimedia shifted from building an encyclopedia toward a DEI-driven social justice mission.
- That mission change reshaped editorial priorities and opened space for ideological influence, Rindsberg argues.
Personnel And Funding Linked To Ideological Shift
- Rindsberg traced leadership hires and PR choices tying Wikimedia to Clinton and Soros-affiliated actors during its strategic change.
- These personnel and fundraising links, he argues, helped reorient Wikimedia's priorities.
