The only specific and non-contradictory complaints about Wikipedia bias I can find on https://justapedia.org/wiki/Justapedia:Justapedia_Foundation are climate change and COVID-19, which are areas in which I think Wikipedia excels. The complaints about politics go in both directions.
Perhaps Atsme can clarify?

It's laughable, as the logo [1] that (inadvertently,?) shows "disinformation" and "lies" being given equal weight with "information" in determining "truth" suggests.
But this [2] hints at the darker underbelly:
"The Editorial Review Board (ERB) [...] will make binding decisions regarding the retention and rejection of article content, as well as serve to resolve content disputes, and notability issues... ERB members are required to have a high level, native understanding of written English"
Besides, there are alarming rumors I saw in Y Combinator [...]
Oh, please. Do better than that.
