Title: Harvard Releases Guide to “Fake News” Sites — Every Major Conservative Site

Harvard Releases Guide to “Fake News” Sites — List Includes Essentially Every Major Conservative Site

Your betters at the Harvard University Library have published a guide to “Fake News Sites” that includes a bevy of real news sites that happen to lean right. Among them: the Heritage Foundation, Conservative Review, and Wikileaks, the latter of which has revealed (whether you agree with its approach or not) some very real news indeed.

This, my friends, is a dangerous game. Just as Snopes and Politifact are reliable Democrat public relations outlets (remember when the latter played both sides on ‘If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep It’?), anyone claiming to be an arbiter of truth is inherently suspect.

Because progressives always get it wrong, I’ll repeat. The market is the only arbiter for media. The marketplace of ideas dictates who wins and loses.

Fake Professor Calls Free Beacon ‘Fake News’

Fake professor, feminist, and activist Melissa "Mish" Zimdars has deemed the Washington Free Beacon "fake news" on a list that is now being distributed as a media guide by Harvard University.

Zimdars, a Donald Trump critic and Carly Rae Jepsen fan, is an assistant professor at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, whose research focus includes "social justice." She has organized liberal protest rallies against student debt and refers to conservatives as the "DARK SIDE."

She created her fake news list, "False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical ‘News' Sources," shortly after Hillary Clinton's defeat in the presidential election. The list, which Zimdars has already edited because news sites mistakenly appeared on it, features numerous conservative outlets.

Zimdars runs the "OpenSources.co" project, which continuously updates the database for online developers to "leverage in the fight against fake, false, conspiratorial, and misleading news."

"Our database is maintained by professionals who have analyzed each source, looking for overall inaccuracy, extreme biases, lack of transparency, and other kinds of misinformation," the website states.
