More precisely, Wikipedia is whatever its most eager and active "contributors" or voluntary "editors" make it. It's a blank slate upon which the left's (or the right's, for that matter) propagandists can paint whatever picture they like, with no constraints other than the willingness of honest contributors to monitor and correct it. Obviously the former have more to gain and thus are often more motivated.

Ultimately, it will have to find a way to police itself better or it will become so discredited - at least with regard to anything political or controversial - that people seeking objective information will completely stop using it.
