Wikipedia Bias

The "External links" section contains an extensive list of "Air America fan sites", but the "Air America critics" section has alternated between not being there at all and having one or two links. My site BoreAmerica.com has been deleted on at least two occasions, as has radioequalizer.blogspot.com. Getting the first site listed in the first place was quite a battle.

Art Torres is - or was until very recently - the Chairman of the California Democratic Party. In 1995, he said this:

"[Proposition] 187 was the last gasp of white America in California."

Snopes.com ("Urban Legends Reference Pages") regularly discusses various Internet rumors, chain emails, and "other such stories of uncertain or questionable origin". The WP entry reads like a press release, and one might assume that they've never gotten anything wrong. In fact, the closest it gets to anything that could be considered in any way negative is the statement that "not all of their sources... are fully verifiable".

For several months, the WP entry on Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa ("AV") omitted the key fact that when he was a student at UCLA he was a leader of the extremist group MEChA [1] and he was a campus radical [2]. It also claimed that he was an "attorney" (linking to the /Lawyer article), a statement that is at the least highly misleading. [3] This biased entry has high rankings [4], and may have played some small role in his winning the mayoral seat on May 17, 2005.
