Trump Challenges Wikipedia for Alleged Bias

President Donald Trump is once again leading the charge against left-wing bias this time, setting his sights on one of the internet’s most manipulated platforms: Wikipedia.

In a major move, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has launched an official investigation into Wikipedia, citing alarming evidence of pro-Kremlin, anti-Western, and anti-Israel bias much of it deliberately injected to manipulate public opinion and AI systems alike.

“Multiple studies and reports have highlighted efforts to manipulate information on the Wikipedia platform for propaganda aimed at Western audiences,” the Committee wrote in a scathing letter to Wikipedia Foundation CEO Maryana Iskander.

This comes as new data shows that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity AI overwhelmingly rely on Wikipedia for their responses with ChatGPT alone citing Wikipedia in nearly 48% of its top references. That means biased content on Wikipedia doesn’t just stay on Wikipedia it infects virtually every AI tool and search engine Americans use daily.

And President Trump isn’t having it.

The former president has vocally criticized the site for years, but with Congress now probing the Wikipedia Foundation’s ties to foreign-funded propaganda, the fight is escalating fast. Reports have revealed:

• Pro-Hamas Wikipedia editors whitewashing terrorist atrocities and pushing anti-Israel talking points.

• Pro-Kremlin operatives rewriting key articles to spin the Ukraine war in Putin’s favor.

• Systemic efforts to suppress conservative and pro-Western viewpoints while favoring anti-American narratives.

A damning April 2025 report, Exposing Pravda, showed how Kremlin-friendly editors were actively “poisoning AI models and rewriting Wikipedia” all while hiding behind anonymity and exploiting Wikipedia’s broken editorial system.

Even Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has had enough.

“There is clearly massive support for this sort of investigation,” Sanger said. “Wikipedia makes broad editorial decisions about what constitutes reliable sources and the Foundation refuses to reveal the identity of its most powerful editors.”

That’s not just bad for transparency it’s a threat to national security.

While Wikipedia claims to be a “neutral” encyclopedia, it’s increasingly clear the platform has become a playground for activist editors and foreign propagandists. Under Democrat rule, tech giants and digital gatekeepers like Wikipedia have enjoyed free rein to skew the narrative, silence dissent, and serve up filtered information to Americans under the guise of “fact.”

Trump’s push to hold Wikipedia accountable is about more than just editorial bias it’s about defending truth itself in an age where AI models are being trained on lies.

Congress is now demanding answers about how taxpayer dollars and potentially foreign funding are being used to support these manipulations. And for once, thanks to Trump’s influence and rising public outrage, there may be real consequences for those corrupting the information we rely on.

The days of leftist tech platforms hiding behind “open-source” labels while quietly rewriting reality are coming to an end.
