Ted Cruz accuses Wikipedia of bias, citing dubious sources.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation accusing the site of “left-wing bias.” As I wrote in a feature about the site last month, there is a growing campaign by the Trump administration and other powerful actors around the world to influence the encyclopedia.

Cruz’s letter exhibits many of the common traits of these attacks: citations of dubious studies from conservative think tanks, quotes from the disgruntled Wikipedia co-founder, complaints about right-wing sources deemed unreliable, and requests for information about Wikipedia policies that are publicly available -- in meticulous detail -- on Wikipedia itself.
