Your source to mainline mainstream media malarky and missteps.
There is some new plagiarism fun that does not directly involve Claudine Gay. Billionaire alum Bill Ackman has been a loud critic of President Gay and Harvard’s treatment of the whole affair. As a result, he and his wife became the target of an active media practice of “revenge journalism”, where an outlet does not look into the main story but instead focuses on those who are provoking action against a favored subject.
Vivek Ramaswamy has once again taken the press to school, and they earned a failing grade, yet again. Then we have Politico, for reasons we can speculate, looking to diminish the release of The Epstein List by classifying it alongside Pizzagate and Q-Anon conspiracies, while painting the right-wing as kooks for opposing child trafficking. Then finally we have the Washington Post, after dismissing wrongdoing and defending Claudine Gay’s plagiarism, looking into the most trivial example of stolen intellectual property – stolen food pics!
Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media malpractice and misbehavior.
