Rationale

Wikipedia aggressively privileges outlets such as New York Times, Washington Post, Vox, and The Guardian, while rejecting or heavily down-ranking most right-leaning sources.

Veripedia corrects this imbalance by selecting trusted outlets from across the ideological spectrum to restore proportionality. Our goal is not to be partisan, but to provide balanced, verified information.

Any source not on the approved list is not accepted for citation. This ensures consistency and maintains our sourcing standards.
