You won't believe the 50 websites Harvard has labeled "Fake News"

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.

Based upon a simple comparison of ratings, MSNBC and CNN are considered very, very fake news when it lines up against Fox News. And which means National Public Radio is also faux news.

Some here's my list of the top 50 sites labeled by Harvard as 'False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and Satirical “News” Sources':

"EXIT TAXES": How California Tries to Stop the Lower Middle Class From Fleeing for Texas

By Tyler Durden

California exports more than commodities such as movies, new technologies and produce. As The Sacramento Bee reports, it also exports truck drivers, cooks and cashiers.

Every year from 2000 through 2015, more people left California than moved in from other states. This migration was not spread evenly across all income groups, a Sacramento Bee review of U.S. Census Bureau data found. The people leaving tend to be relatively poor, and many lack college degrees. Move higher up the income spectrum, and slightly more people are coming than going. About 2.5 million people living close to the official poverty line left California for other states from 2005 through 2015, while 1.7 million people at that income level moved in from other states – for a net loss of 800,000. During the same period, the state experienced a net gain of about 20,000 residents earning at least five times the poverty rate – or $100,000 for a family of three...

DEAR AP PROPAGANDIST JONATHAN LEMIRE: We're All Still Waiting for an Apology

A legacy media hack by the name of Jonathan Lemire -- if that is his real name -- continues to propagate lies about the wiretapping of President Donald Trump and the remarkable detective work of bestselling author and radio host Mark Levin. Levin helped construct a definitive and authoritative timeline into the Obama administration's criminal activities.

While most "journalists" have quietly abandoned their wiretapping jeremiads, for obvous reasons, Lemire continues to bang his Barbie-sized pots and pans, calling attention not only to his ignorance, but his patently partisan agenda.

For most with Lemire's talents, said actions wouldn't be worth mentioning. But Jon-boy happened to hook up with the antiquated wire service called the Associated Press, so his laughably false assertions have circulated far beyond what his meager talents warrant.

Consider the following; a more fraudulent sequence of lies you'd be hard-pressed to find outside of North Korea:

AMBER ALERT: Won't You Please Help Us Find the Media's "Russians-Stole-the-Election" Meme?

By Rush Limbaugh

Say, have you noticed, my friends, that the whole Russians-stole-the-election theme is gone? Have you noticed it’s not out there today? You can’t find a story on it? I’m gonna tell you why, ’cause we had a major role in this I am convinced right here on the EIB Network yesterday ’cause we nailed ’em.

Have you seen any stories about the Russians hacking the elections? It’s gone, and so is the New York Times headline from the January 20th story with “wiretaps.” They have gone back and they have changed it. “Wiretaps” is not in that headline anymore. I’ll have the details on this. There’s also two polls out there. Folks, this is big. This is exactly… I am convinced that we played a role in this. Not just yesterday, but in days in the past. Many people have, and Trump’s the actual reason why.

ABOUT TIME: Attorney General Sessions Asks All Obama Appointees in DOJ to Resign. Now.

In a move that will likely provoke further media, and pundit, fury despite it being a routine act that is concurrent with every change in administration, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has asked all remaining Obama-appointed U.S. Attorneys for their resignation.

Sarah Isgur Flores, Director of Public Affairs at the Department of Justice, released the following statement:

DON'T LOOK NOW: But There's a New Generation of Racists Operating Freely on Campus

By John Perazzo

The Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA), or “Chicano Student Movement,” describes itself as an organization that urges young Chicanos (people of Mexican ancestry living in the United States) to use “higher education” and “political involvement” to promote “cultural and historical pride,” “liberation,” and “self-determination” among their people. In practice, MEChA aggressively promotes anti-Americanism and anti-white hatred by relentlessly stoking the fires of racial and ethnic grievance among Latino students.

Obama Touched Off a Tidal Wave of Leaks With This One Weird Trick

By Saagar Enjeti

Former President Barack Obama made a last-minute change to the way wiretapped intelligence is shared Jan. 12, which may have contributed to the proliferation of leaks plaguing the Trump administration.

Obama changed the way National Security Agency intelligence is shared 8 days before leaving office, which allows globally intercepted communications to be disseminated across the entire intelligence community.

QOTD: "Step One: Repeal Obamacare. Put a stake through its heart and leave its head on a pike. So maybe the Democrats won’t vote for a replacement. Good. They’re the party of trough-gorging welfare cheats, not us. It’s their constituents who want the free stuff – yours are the sheep these bums shear. No Obamacare replacement is their problem. See how long the Dems can play the obstruction game with their freeloading voters screaming “Gimme!”

Step Two: Stop trying to plan everything. We can do it ourselves. Lift the regulations and let us buy whatever coverage we want from whatever state we want. Operate under the general principle that every American adult is expected to pay for his own healthcare. Most importantly, stop trying to ameliorate the consequences of bad decisions. If you want to have fewer bad decisions, the very best way to achieve that lofty goal is to let bad things happen to stupid people.

Done. There’s your health care reform." --Kurt Schlichter

CALLUM BORCHERS OF THE WASHINGTON POST TAKES ON MARK LEVIN: He Chose... Poorly

There are certain matchups... certain competitions... that are just insane to contemplate. Godzilla vs. Bambi. Demetrius Johnson vs. Michael Moore. Floyd Mayweather vs., eh, Michael Moore. And Mark Levin vs. Callum Borchers (if that is his real name).

Borchers, who is completely unknown west of Bethesda, Maryland and east of Bethesda, Maryland, just wrote an interesting sci-fi column at the Washington Post entitled "Mark Levin is confused. Or he is trying to confuse you."

But don't bother clicking on it. Put simply, Clyde Torchers offers some awesome spin -- using a February 2017 article and not the original January reporting -- to obscure the Obama administration's very real and very obvious skulduggery.

TWITTER ANSWERS THE CALL: How Will You Survive a "Day Without Women"?

By Daily Sheeple

Today we saw thousands of women across the country marching and striking for “The Day Without A Woman.”

We’ll avoid the politics of it all, as that’s been covered almost to the point of exhaustion by various news outlets and social media.

We will, however, take a look at the humorous side of it, because the point of a Day Without A Woman, we assume, is to show men how important they are in our lives. To be clear, no one here thinks otherwise.

When the organization that started the movement asked men how they plan to support women on March 8, some of the responses, as you can imagine, were pretty hilarious. Some are nothing short of pure brilliance, and whether male or female, we think you might just get a chuckle out of these:

GOOD NEWS: "Day Without Women" Protest Organized by Murderous Islamic Terrorist

By Jeff Dunetz

Today’s “Day Without Women” protests are run by: a Palestinian Terrorist who killed two students; groups who call for the destruction of the State of Israel; and other groups who participate in the anti-Semitic BDS movement

Rasmea Yousef Odeh is one of eight women who organized this particular protest. She’s a woman who spent a decade in an Israeli jail for her involvement in two terrorist bombings made while she was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). One of those attacks, a 1969 bombing of a Jerusalem Super Sol Market killed two Hebrew University Students Edward Joffe and Leon Kanner while they were shopping for groceries.

LEVIN: Hey, Clapper---If there were no FISA warrrants, what the hell were the FBI, CIA, NSA and the rest investigating?

By Mark Levin

It is only conservatives who are concerned about what they are reading in liberal media.

Have you you noticed that? The media is very confounded right now, they are very confused. They don't know whether to trash themselves, trash their colleagues, or what.

What did Obama know? We know he knows this much: everything you just read, he knew. Because it's in the newspapers. That is pretty big. Number two, we know that if a FISA warrant was secured, it is very likely in his daily intelligence briefing or a call from the Attorney General or the director of the FBI the president would be given a heads up. There's nothing illegal about it but he would have been given a heads up.

Here's what else we know:

Only by reading those articles carefully does one discover the sources are highly speculative and the evidence is thin at best.

The much-discussed New York Times piece from January 19 is a perfect example of this. It begins by matter-of-factly confirming the existence of the wiretaps everyone in Obamaworld is now swearing are a figment of Donald Trump’s imagination. Mountains of innuendo about connections between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence have been spun out of what these abruptly non-existent intercepts contained, according to the anonymous leakers who currently drive almost 100 percent of mainstream media coverage...

...Amazingly, the same media that just went through 48 hours of convulsions over a bogus “perjury” charge against Attorney General Jeff Sessions is happy to cite an actual, admitted perjurer, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, as an unimpeachable source on the exact issue he lied about to Congress. They also expect the American people to trust former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes, who openly bragged of his ability to mislead credulous reporters and construct phony narratives to sell the Iran nuclear deal...

YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER NETWORK: CNN Hack Brian Stelter Takes on Mark Levin With Predictable Results

By Chris Pandolfo

CNN’s Brian Stelter accused Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin of starting a “conspiracy theory” Monday in an article about questions Levin raised last week regarding the extent to which the Obama administration may have spied on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

Citing reporting by mainstream media outlets that the Obama administration sought two separate FISA court warrants to surveil the Trump campaign, Levin made the case that a congressional investigation is warranted to determine if there was any spying, and if there was, the extent of it.

Stelter, the host of "Reliable Sources," accused Levin of using “cherry-picked news stories that supported his thesis and omitted information that cut against it.”

Stelter writes:

PURE, RAW HATRED: The New York Times Told Us Trump Was Wiretapped in January

By Rush Limbaugh

There is far, far more substance to what Trump is alleging than the entire thing that the Democrats and the media are alleging. There is no evidence that the Russians had anything to do with the outcome of our election, none, and there won’t be any, because the Russians didn’t.

But there’s all kinds of evidence, circumstantial and suspicious and common sense that this is what the Obama administration did. We’ve got countless examples of them wiretapping. We’ve got their “house organ” admitting that wiretap data was used in the inquiry of Trump aides. But one of the names on this story, one of the reporters is named Michael S. Schmidt.
