How should Wikipedia avoid publication bias where the avoidance/lack of interest of certain topics actually leads to a skewed view of knowledge?

Why is the information on your site left leaning?

Hi Larry, is it possible in some future dystopia that all paper information would be banned , generations in the year 2500 would believe what the computer tells them and a 20th century copy of Encyclopedia Britannica would be held up as joke fiction? is the world big enough for the truth to hide and re-emerge?

Is Larry aware of Soviet historian Robert Conquest’s Second Law of Politics, being “Any organization not explicitly and constitutionally right-wing will sooner or later become left-wing.”? If he was aware of it prior to his ouster from Wikipedia, did he not believe it would apply to Wikipedia?

(Too bad Robert Conquest is no longer alive for Triggernometry to interview.)
