Yes, I've noticed the bias for some time. Fortunately I don't teach anything related to politics or even the humanities, but even so, I always tell my students that if they're going to cite Wikipedia, they have to show they've checked the information against an independent source.
I have no idea whether the historical details in that video (about the specific people involved in Wikipedia's decline from neutrality) are accurate, but the basic advice is spot-on: anything of a controversial nature stated on Wikipedia should be considered suspect unless checked against one or more independent, outside sources.
