Wikipedia is no more or less biased than any other media we get. It doesn't cost much to print a book, why assume it's perfectly objective and accurate?

It's free to edit Wikipedia. Self-publishing a book will normally run at least $1000 (and even that is incredibly low quantities). That's no guarantee of accuracy or objectivity, but the financial dedication and committment is a good indication that the book is more carefully researched and prepared than a wiki.
