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

So my counsel is to visit all of these sites frequently.
Because Harvard’s full of sh**. But you already knew that.
Lots to play with.
Harvard – a great producer of Communists, other Marxist/radicals and even a few Soviet spies if I remember correctly.
Our side should produce a similar list of leftist “fake news” sites, starting with MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NY Times, Wash. Post (have you seen the unrelenting anti-Trump articles during the past month or two?). Throw in the Huffington Post, Daily Kos or whatever it’s name is now, the various “Daily” sites, etc. and you have, in the immortal words of Groucho Marx, “a lovely bunch of coconuts”, or in the more recent immortal words of Mark Levin, “a conga-line of coconuts and morons”.
Two can play this game, but we have to “Play It Smarter” and more accurately.
This Harvard woman is full of it. All the websites she listed tell the truths. Liberal progressives cannot handle truths.
