Another example of the real problem being that people like Cruz live in an alternate reality bubble. Pretty much anyone accusing orgs like Wikipedia, NPR, or PBS of liberal bias is really just showing they don't live in the objective reality.

Islamophobia in Western Europe is not driven by religiosity Are Christians more likely to be Islamophobic than other citizens in Europe? New research finds European Islamophobia has no link to a person’s religiosity.

Are Christians in Western Europe more likely to be Islamophobic than other citizens?

New research finds no link between personal Christian beliefs and Islamophobia, but a close association with nativism/authoritarianism.

Wright says it’s not windy in winter. Data says otherwise. Stats from South Fork Wind's first year undermine the Energy secretary's assertions that offshore turbines don't operate well in the winter.

Nope, Energy Sec'y Wright, offshore winds in fact blow in winter. 1st year of operational data from NY's South Fork Wind project shows a 47% capacity factor in the year ending June 2025, with performance highest in the winter. Coal's avg capacity factor: 42%.
