Is Conservapedia the Fox News of the Web?
Wikipedia's policy is to be neutral. There is no such rule at Conservapedia. "An encyclopedia should be factual," Schlafly says.
Should it be neutral? "I don't know what you mean by neutral. It's neutral to the facts."
Not everyone agrees, even those who come from the right.
"It looks like this outfit is far more guilty of the crime they're attributing to Wikipedia," says Tom Flanagan, professor of political science at the University of Calgary and both a fiscal and social conservative.
"I wouldn't use this thing at all."
He calls the examples of bias in Wikipedia cited by Conservapedia "quixotic and narrow."
After looking at the entry on kangaroos, Flanagan laughs, "This is loony tunes stuff."
