Conservapedia

Conservapedia is an English-language wiki project written from an American conservative Christian point of view. The website considers itself to be a supporter of "conservative, family-friendly" content.[3] It was started in 2006 by homeschool teacher and attorney Andy Schlafly, son of conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly,[4][5] to counter what he called the liberal bias of Wikipedia.[6][7] It uses editorials and a wiki-based system to generate content. Examples of the ideology of Conservapedia in its articles include: advocacy for Young Earth creationism, negative accusations against President Barack Obama, criticism of Albert Einstein and relativity, and claiming a proven link between abortion and breast cancer. Conservapedia also operates a "Conservative Bible Project", a conservative re-interpretation of the Bible.[8]

The project has received negative reactions from the mainstream media, as well as from various figures from both ends of the political spectrum, including commentators and journalists,[9][10][11][12][13] and has been criticized for bias and inaccuracies.
