The amount of deprecated sources doesn’t tell you anything about any bias without the number of allowed sources.

Here's the list, have a browse and try to find any that are (US) conservative and green ("generally reliable").

There's a few economically conservative sources (Economist, WSJ, etc) but I don't think there's any politically conservative ones.

The source bias is a big problem but it goes beyond that. The various groups of people who have power within Wikipedia simply create content with their personal bias. Look at how easily Wikipedia editors throw the conspiracy theory label on everything they disagree with politically, for example.

While there is plenty of baloney on the left, like quantum consciousness and crystals etc. it isn't held up as being proudly wrong. Biden's HHS secy. wasn't a Reiki Master even if Reiki Masters are leftish. RFK Jr. is proudly a kook, regardless of how right or left he is.
It just isn't symmetrical.
