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.
