Maybe I have been oblivious to it.
I first noticed it when I looked up Mike Pompeo. It seems like they add too many opinions.
I know most of the media is biased, but it would be nice to have an encyclopedia that wasn't. Maybe Britannica?
Any thoughts on Wikipedia.

My thoughts are...they do provide citations for their statements so you can see for yourself how "biased" they may be, and they aren't supposed to be the final word on a subject, more of a place to start.

Good point Vile. They picked unfavorable articles to cite.
Here is a statement about Trump: "Trump made many false and misleading statements during his campaigns and presidency, to a degree unprecedented in American politics."
They should say the same thing about Biden. His town hall the other day was full of falsehoods. You won't catch Covid if you get the vaccine... That is false. "sucking the blood of children"... What on earth is he talking about?
No citation there, but that is typical.
Did everyone forget about Biden's racist statements? The word jungle is not mentioned on Biden's page.
