Zero Hedge and Breitbart Targeted On Liberal Professor's List of "Fake News" Sources

Looks like like the elites want to decide what is news worthy and what isn't. The next 4 years are going to be a real hootm as Alex Jones has said for as long as I can remember.........There is a war on for your mind!

Quote:
We have a confession to make, everything we've said over the past ~7 years has been fake. Well, not really, but that's what the ultra-liberal, Assistant Professor of Communications at Merrimack College, Melissa "Mish" Zimdars, would like for you to believe.

While it's unclear exactly what prompted Zimdars to publish a list of "fake news" sources, we have a sneaking suspicion it was a coping mechnism cleverly employed by the New England, liberal arts snowflake to deal with the stunning defeat of her chosen Presidential candidate. Or, perhaps she was simply trying to help the folks at Google and Facebook who have vowed to censor "fake news" sources by cutting off their access to advertising.

But, no matter the reason, below is the full list of information resources that Zimdars, the ultimate arbiter of credibility, has deemed "fake." Notice that while the list includes numerous conservative news sources like Breitbart, Infowars, Twitchy, The Blaze and Bizpac Review, it excludes the beacon of impartiality known as The Huffington Post.

Moreover, Zimdars even provided the following helpful categorization guidelines to help you determine the level of "fakeness" exhibited by each site. Zero Hedge has not yet been assigned a category, which we find kind of hurtful.

LMAO - she listed MSNBC, who I'm sure thanks her for the mention of them (in any context at this point as their network of daffodils reaches terminal velocity).

I thank Ms Zimdars for compiling such a great list of like minded reading opportunities for me. I've only ever read a few of those, now I have a very nice, concise, organized list!

I believe it was RL that said: "Just because write more doesn't necessarily make it better."

Good thing she says what her criteria for placing a site on her list is

I guess it's just a list of sites that she doesn't like (what they say).
