Imagine dealing with the wrath of the Left every time someone Googles your name. That’s reality for any conservative with a Wikipedia entry. The so-called fair and neutral platform turns into a liberal playground where hundreds of left-wing keyboard warriors unite to paint the worst possible picture of their political adversaries. It’s like the digital version of a CNN hit piece, only with a horde of anonymous contributors who’s main skills are bias and keyboard bravery.
Conservatives face an uphill battle with Wikipedia. The entry for any right-leaning individual reads more like an indictment than a biography. Liberal editors cherry-pick negative incidents and amplify them while glossing over or outright ignoring any positives. It’s a manicured mud-slinging fest where the muck gets ankle-deep pretty fast.
These Wikipedia entries are like liberal dystopian fantasies given life. Conservatives become caricatures, grossly misrepresented to ensure anyone curious enough to learn about them encounters a machine-fed leftist narrative. The bias isn’t even subtle—it’s blatant, out in the open, gleefully marching down the page line by line.

The problem isn’t just annoying or inconvenient; it’s symptomatic of a broader issue. When the largest and most-used reference site on the planet is weaponized against conservative voices, it distorts not just individual reputations, but the political discourse at large. The echo chamber of Silicon Valley ensures that anyone daring to dissent from progressive orthodoxy pays a steep reputational price.
In this tilted vortex, Wikipedia resembles less of a neutral information resource and more of a left-wing agitprop tool. It’s high time conservatives start treating it as such—both by addressing the imbalance and standing unfazed by these coordinated character assassinations. The truth has a way of coming out, no matter how hard the left tries to bury it under slander.
