Some of the most extreme political bias on Wikipedia involves editors who support the violent left-wing group Antifa and protect the group’s image on the site. This has included downplaying Antifa’s far-left views and violence, even censoring major incidents and involvement in recent rioting.

1. Downplaying violence and radical views

2. Censoring most extreme acts of violence

3. Accusing critics of lying

4. Rationalizing attacks by smearing Antifa opponents

5. Minimizing role in Floyd riots

Wikipedia: Fox News
Fox News (officially Fox News Channel, abbreviated FNC and commonly known as Fox) is an American pay television conservative cable television news channel. It is owned by Fox News Media, which itself is owned by the Fox Corporation...

Fox News has been described as practicing biased reporting in favor of the Republican Party, the George W.

A May 2017 study conducted by Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy examined coverage of Trump’s first 100 days in office by several major mainstream media outlets including Fox. It found Trump received 80% negative coverage from the overall media, and received the least negative coverage on Fox – 52% negative and 48% positive...FOLLOWED BY SMEAR SMEARS SMEARS
