For mainstream folks, perhaps. The second you even go slightly outside of what the media has declared kosher it goes off the rails. Take RFK’s page, for instance, which is just a collection of inflamed opinions soured from “reputable“ news outlets.

It can get polarized within the mainstream, too.

In your opinion, what is some misinformation on RFK's page?

Have you read the discussions on the talk page?

If your concern has not been extensively discussed, have you raised it on said page?

Here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr.

Yes, the top chain in the talk page is exactly what I’m referring. And, as expected, the fair critique of the article for violating wiki guidelines has been shot down by passionate editors who want to push their narrative.
I'm confused. All I saw was someone trying to push their own agenda, and editors preventing it. Did you see something else?
