Hell they list the Christian Science monitor as green for reliability (as they should imo), I don&amp;#x27;t think Wikipedia is demonstrating a bias based on any particular ideology in their sources on this list.&lt;p&gt;This wiki list is a list of sources by reliability.  If you only publish stories which support your bias, but those stories are scientifically sound and don&amp;#x27;t omit context, I don&amp;#x27;t see the problem with using them as a source regardless of bias.&lt;p&gt;If you only allow sources from reliable sources aligned with a particular bias to the exclusion of reliable sources from another alignment, that would be an issue, but I don&amp;#x27;t see evidence of such here.&lt;p&gt;The problem isn&amp;#x27;t the bias.  The problem is the factuality.</text><parent_chain><item><author>Jorge1o1</author><text>Wow, what a list.
