Tucker Carlson Accuses Wikipedia of Being Controlled by the U.S. Government
American journalist and television host Tucker Carlson has claimed that Wikipedia promotes a government-approved version of history while hiding inconvenient facts. According to Carlson, the platform is effectively controlled by the U.S. government and shapes its content to serve official interests.
Carlson: Wikipedia Is Run by the U.S. Government
Speaking on air, Tucker Carlson expressed concern that Wikipedia, being one of the most widely used information sources online, manipulates historical facts and presents only narratives that favor the authorities.
"Wikipedia, which at this point is our collective memory, is promoted by Google. It’s the first page of any search. It’s the only history most people will ever read. And it is controlled by the U.S. government to hide inconvenient facts."
Carlson argues that because Wikipedia dominates search results, alternative perspectives on history are largely inaccessible to the general public.
How Wikipedia Shapes Public Perception
Wikipedia remains one of the most popular online encyclopedias, with millions of articles in various languages. However, the platform has often been criticized for:
- Editorial bias – Articles are edited by anonymous moderators whose views may influence how information is presented.
- Censorship policies – Certain topics have restricted editing access, and critical perspectives are often removed.
- Ties to major tech corporations – Google and other companies heavily promote Wikipedia content in search results, shaping a singular information landscape.
Public Reaction
Carlson’s remarks have sparked widespread debate. Some support his view, arguing that Wikipedia does exhibit bias, particularly on political issues. Others dismiss his claims as a conspiracy theory, pointing out that Wikipedia’s content is created by volunteers.
What’s Next?
Carlson has urged people to be critical of Wikipedia and seek alternative sources of information. His statement is likely to fuel further discussions on internet censorship and the influence of digital platforms on public perception.
