very intent of Elon and this post is to alert people of biasing, which they may not have been aware of so far.

I agree that Elon pointing out bias on Wikipedia is a good thing. I agree that teaching people that wikipedia is not to be trusted is a good thing. Not only was that not my protest, I agreed with it wholeheartedly from the get go. My protest was with regard to your title which stated explicitly that people should not use wikipedia as an information source for facts. I disagree completely. Wikipedia is one of the single best sources on the internet for facts. It just isn't a good place for all the facts.

Just because wiki gives the sources doesn't mean make it any more reliable than MSM

I assert that no source is reliable. Thinking that any source is reliable will never be part of the path to the truth and will only get you into trouble if your goal is understanding it.

If the reporter itself is not credible, I have no interest in digging sources.

I suggest this is a huge problem if your goal is understanding the truth of a thing. The vast majority of the time people tell the truth (by "truth" I mean they give the facts in earnest). However, people almost never tell the whole truth. Bias is not generally in lies, but in the important parts left out. Pretty much everyone leaves out important parts. Only if you allow yourself to see others "truths" (the facts they present) can you ever hope to get closer to the actual (whole) truth of a thing.
