Vitaliy, nice, but I don't really understand the alpha call: 

WolframAlpha["ukraine syria", {{"PopularityPod:WikipediaStatsData", 1}, "ComputableData"}]

Is there documentation for this? what other sources are available but "Wikepediastatsdata"? In other words, how do I conduct my own research on some topic. Thanks.

Interesting question. If I understand right what you mean, then probably visits' data on foreign (especially native to conflict zones) language Wikipedia pages and relative comparison with English page would show the difference. But how much of that is bias versus noise is a harder question. Do you have any ideas of bias detection? - It'd be interesting to try.

can you detect a bias in coverage among your sources?
