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.
