Harvard’s Fake Guide to Fake News by Fake Professor from Fake University

The Geller Report, The Daily Caller, The Drudge Report, Powerline, Breitbart News, The Washington Examiner, The Washington Free Beacon, Independent Journal Review (IJR), Pajamas Media, The Blaze and The Weekly Standard all make the fake news list by a fake professor from a fake university. One more deranged leftist professor engaging in libel and lies is hardly new. But Harvard released this ludicrous list as their new research guide.

Merrimack College Assistant Professor Melissa Zimdars, a 30-something thumbsucker who hates all things Trump, has only actually held her teaching position at the private college in North Andover, Massachusetts, for about 19 months.

Robert Spencer here: “Harvard University has picked up on a Merrimack College professor’s list of ‘fake news’ sites, including the Daily Caller, the Drudge Report, Breitbart News, the Washington Examiner, the Washington Free Beacon, Independent Journal Review (IJR), and even Bill Kristol’s relentlessly Never-Trump The Weekly Standard. FrontPage Mag, Jihad Watch, and Truth Revolt also make the list. It sure is great to have our intellectual betters at Harvard explain to us what are ‘illegitimate’ sources of news, but there’s just one catch: the “fake news” list doesn’t contain even a single site that is the slightest bit Left of center.

“That’s right: BuzzFeed, with its fake dossier on Donald Trump, didn’t make the list. Nor did the New York Times or the Washington Post or CNN, despite all their no-there-there hysteria about Russia “hacking” the 2016 presidential election. Nor does the Huffington Post or Salon or Slate or Glenn Greenwald’s fact-free Intercept. Harvard’s list is clearly intended not to warn people away from hoax news sources and stories, but to demonize, stigmatize and marginalize the perspective of the half of the American electorate that American electorate that voted for Donald Trump.

“It’s a clever presentation: there are actual fake news sites on the Harvard list, sites that publish wholly false or unsubstantiated stories simply as clickbait in order to generate revenue. But to add to them some of the most prominent conservative sites on the web makes the agenda clear: Harvard, and the Leftist intelligentsia in general, is trying to stigmatize and marginalize every point of view except its own. Merrimack College’s Melissa Zimdars and those who take her list seriously at Harvard and elsewhere apparently think that if they call every perspective they dislike “fake news,” they will be able to destroy the influence of such perspectives, and attain the hegemony of their own point of view.”
