Essentially any issue that relates to politics or geopolitics tends to have a strong left wing bias, as if it is written from the perspective of the left wing against the right wing.


Then again, reality has a well-known liberal bias.

;-)


Not saying you do, but that certain folks believe this shows just how deep the capture of mainstream media and education by the left goes.


At least, the internet does. Providing labor el gratis apparently goes against their purview, after all. But they sure will complain about free labor


So it would be centrist/moderate then, certainly not leftwing?


Not if the Overton Window is out of whack. Reality could conceivably be to the left or to the right of what we consider the extremes.

What we label as “centrist” isn’t guaranteed to be the “actual” center of reality’s spectrum of ideology.

There are not really left wing people in US politics. Democrats are center-right. Some of that is the legacy of Bill Clinton and "triangulation".

Actually, numbers run on a libertarian-communitarian spectrum


Or, your Overton window has shifted.


Perhaps unsurprisingly left wing people feel more like being unpaid editors on Wikipedia.

Right wing people are too busy earning them sweet, sweet dollars.
