    Yep, being aware of that is part of being able to read anything objectively. Every single thing you read has a political slant.

    Wikipedia is great because it does reference out to sources, so you can easily find multiple sources and using critical thinking skills you can distill common themes across multiple different sources.

    If you’re savvy, you can even look at the page edit history and the “talk” happening behind the article to get a better idea of what parts are disputed and which are generally accepted.

        Even with everything said, wikipedia is generally a better single source than anything else.

        At the very least, it’s always an acceptable starting point for understanding the concepts in a space.
