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.

So my counsel is to visit all of these sites frequently.
Because Harvard's full of sh**. But you already knew that.
Interesting how much hate comes from liberals according to Harvard
ReplyDeleteNot sure if all these sites are searched by the Conservative search engine GoodGopher.com (which is owned by a person who may also run a questionable health-related website, but that's not really relevant...), but GoodGopher might be worth checking out. No endorsement, just saying.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Harvard, I'm going to use as a reference point for information.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how there isn't a single left-wing news organization on his list.
ReplyDeleteThis dismisses it (and the author) as a partisan joke. Nothing more.
NEXT!
I appreciate it as there were some websites I wasn't aware of.
ReplyDeleteRather than bemoan the title, wear it with honor, like those "Best Blog of 2014" or whatever. Something like "Winner of Harvard Fake News 2017" or along those lines.
This sweaty little list isn't even original to Harvard: it's Melissa Zimdars' work from last fall.

The problem is not so much that Harvard is full of shit but that I own older and smarter pairs of jeans than the editors are who wrote this article.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would be tempted to pay more attention to the jeans' opinions.
I have added this list of 50 websites to my fake news aggregator: https://quibbler.press/#/
ReplyDeleteIt will update itself in a few hours.
Hmmm...some of my favorites, in particular, City Journal. That magazine is the most aesthetically pleasing periodical I know. I save past copies for aesthetic reasons rather than "news" articles.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if we could have an official button. I'll ask the Baron if he has time to do one for our webpage, fellow fakers being free to borrow...OTOH, he's in the midst of a major computer upgrade so maybe not.
Will let you know.
Have to check some of these out. Funny how the left always equivocates disagreement with hate.

I forgot, Dir Blue: the widget is clickable to your post right here...is there a way to make the post permanent or will it eventually disappear?
ReplyDeleteWe put ours up already.

The B said it's viewable for me but might not be public yet until our Seccuri firewall protection does its update...a few hours, I think
They have Steve Quayle but not Dave Hodges.
ReplyDeletethere are some sights I have not visited before. Thanks to Harvard I will be more informed!
ReplyDelete"Veritas" indeed. Remember that Obama, you know, the president who ran ACORN and associated with Ayers before he was elected, was editor of the Harvard Law Review. I also think that CravenRichards' comment was right on point.
