I cannot get rid of the feeling that you post this primarily to expose users to the backlash your post will inarguably get.

No, I didn’t anticipate significant backslash. The criticism of Wikipedia is valid, but I’m comparing it to the raw stream of BS I get on social media, not to an idealistic vision of what wikipedia should be

Oh that. Yes in comparison to that even controversial Wikipedia entries are saint like.

Okay, but like, places like AP and Reuters are right there and free. If someone’s thirsty, you shouldn’t point them at a dirty puddle because it’s better than sewage, you should turn the faucet on.

"Raw" news sources don't aggregate though.

Aggregating a biased list of sources is worse than not aggregating at all.
