Odds ‘n Sods:

Harvard library circulating ‘fake news’ list, which, of course, includes just about every conservative news site.

JWR’s Comment: Note that dozens of popular news websites and blogs (including SurvivalBlog) made it on their list but are tagged only “unknown.” This seems to be their default tag for any site that they simply dislike because its editorial stance doesn’t match their Progressive/neo-Maoist worldview. It is ironic that they often use the tag “bias” when they are blind to their own bias, which is self-evident. The short “Updates and Notes” section below the table is particularly telling about the strong bias of Melissa Zimdars and her staff. It is noteworthy that there she includes http://www.truth-out.org/ as one of her “sources I trust”, when it is so blatantly anti-Israel that it can safely be categorized as anti-Semitic.
