The figures stretch back hundreds of years, ironically even to the team Democrats and Republicans were ideologically flipped.

It shows a pretty clear bias. Just reading some of the articles confirms as such. Biden's son is credibly accused of peddling influence for cash with some of the proceeds going to his father and it's a 'conspiracy theory' (with citations from far left leaning papers and no counterbalance).

This is why one of Wikipedia's founders says it is ideologically biased.

Nothing here addresses the issue I raised. How would you tell whether it's clear bias rather than genuine reflection on the people in the reviewed articles?

Because it is statistically impossible. As I said, the parties have totally flipped at least once. Bias beyond that point makes no sense.

Democrats were pro slavery if you go back far enough. Bias still exists back then.
