This article is quite heavily biased:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right_pipeline

For an exercise, try mentally replacing terms like "alt-right movement" with "woke movement", "alt-right pipeline" with "woke pipeline" etc.

Gave it a skim. What specifically is biased about it? Even ideas that are wrong need to have articles about those labels.

There could also be an article about a "woke pipeline" if that's a concept label people are taking about.

It demonizes right wing YouTubers with the slur "alt-right". There could absolutely no such article exist about a "woke" pipeline. Left wing bias is not acceptable in Wikipedia. Right wing bias is not much of a problem.

Sometimes being wrong is wrong. It’s hard to talk about conservatives in a neutral tone sometimes because stating just the facts can sometimes sound negative. Remember how all the media outlets were “anti Trump” because they all described the voting scandal as being “without evidence”? That’s because there was none.

You couldn’t report on that and simultaneously be on the side of reality without also being against the Trump campaign.

Also, is alt right a slur? Cause woke isn’t.

Of course "woke" is mostly used in a derogatory way. Again, no such article analysing a supposed "woke pipeline" would be acceptable in Wikipedia.

The same thing can be said about progressives. Nonetheless, the above example would be seen as highly biased.

Do you have any proof for your claims? So far I'm mainly getting a https://www.reddit.com/r/Persecutionfetish/ vibe from them.

Do you have any proof that vibes are relevant here?
