Harvard Releases Guide to “Fake News” Sites

Harvard University Library published a guide to “fake news” sites.

The list includes all of the major right of center news sites.

Oddly, the left-wing news organizations and websites failed to make the list. What a shock.

Doug Ross reported:

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.

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

Harvard just incredibly gave out the list of news sites people SHOULD read.

Didn't Harvard admire Adolf Hitler back in the 1930’s? Still advocating eugenics. They haven't deserved credibility for at least 90 years.

That’s a good list for conservatives to read.

From a fake university. Harvard has destroyed respect as a top level institution over the last couple of decades. It has moved into a zone of being a finishing school for those appointed to carry the establishment flag.

Hence, it’s reputation of “extremely hard to get into” and importance of the right pedigree.... and being ridiculously easy to stay in once accepted.

Sad to see a once great place whore itself out.

It's getting to the point that a lot of companies are starting to be leery of hiring Ivy League graduates unless they're from a "lesser" Ivy League school like Penn or even Cornell. No wonder why Michigan and Duke law school graduates are in high demand.

Sadly you are right.

This is probably no more credible than those "hottest chicks on campus" lists that adolescent boys make up.

What about a list of fake education sites?

You know, where the free and open discussion of all ideas is discouraged, and certain opinions are shouted down. Where conservative viewpoints are unwelcome. Where certain student groups are not tolerated. Where patriotism is squelched and Marxist-socialism applauded. Where our triune God has been removed. Where sodomy is marketed.

The men who founded our Ivy League schools are spinning in their graves at 14,000 RPM.

I’m pretty sure Wikileaks has a 100% reliability record.

That would invalidate hahhhhhvud as fake.

This story at the site is a great list of links to conservative news sites, worth bookmarking. But how did Free Republic not make the list? Aren’t we an aggregate site like Drudge? (only better).
