How to fool the ‘biased academic left’
The Blaze ^ | October 15, 2018 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 10/15/2018 8:29:43 PM PDT by TBP

On Monday’s episode of “The Glenn Beck Radio Program,” Glenn was joined by author and mathematician Dr. James A. Lindsay to discuss a series of fake “grievance studies” that he and cohorts Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose penned in order to test the extent of political bias in left-wing academic circles.

Lindsay, Boghossian (an assistant professor of philosophy at Portland State University), and Pluckrose (editor-in-chief of Areo Magazine) wrote an op-ed for USA Today titled, “From dog rape to white men in chains: We fooled the biased academic left with fake studies” in which they spelled out the purpose, method and ultimate success of their experiment.

Even his short promo ads for his program are difficult to listen to and I turn them off. His sanctimonious, condescending blather is just too, too much.

I think they even took some of Hitler’s writings, swapped out “Jew” for “White Men”, and got published.

This was a great act of exposure.
