I'm not aware of this "extreme" bias in Wikipedia. What is it?

There is research comparing wikipedia to encyclopaedia britannica which concludes that wikipedia has more "left code words" per article than EB.

However a) this research is very US-centric b) the paper also concludes that code word per word is pretty much equal between the two, wikipedia just has longer articles

I tend to feel that this research is fundamentally bullshit.
