We all show our biases periodically, and in fact most of the complaints both here and elsewhere that Wikipedia slants toward a certain POV in fact reveal more about the POV of the writer than some overriding POV in Wikipedia itself. Some individual articles do have serious POV problems depending on what the last author did with them. But Wikipedia as a whole is, if I may borrow Cimon Avaro's pogo stick, occasionally bumpy but not actually slanted in any particular direction.
