I've been well-acquainted with the rigged economic and political system in the US, and that Wikipedia editors benefit greatly from that system, thus inject their POV in the encyclopedia to support that existing rigged system.

Today I learned just how intimately involved the Chinese Communist Party is in ensuring their own POV is dominant on the platform. See below, which was triggered by editing the TALK page for Epoch Times Epoch Times article (talk page at talk page), when the below "alert" from Newslinger showed up on my talk page.

One can only speculate about their funding for New York Times reporter Kevin Roose. We already know about the vast amount of CCP funding for academic institutions, where most of the highly involved Wikipedia editors get their funding Feds say US colleges 'massively' underreport foreign funding. The TALK page! Because Binksternet was trying to defend a highly biased NYT article by Kevin Roose. Wow. Squ1rr3l - Talk to me! 16:13, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
