Liberal "tolerance" strikes again.
So, if two different people give the exact same opinion on an issue during separate TV interviews, one on Fox and one on CNN, that means that the students can only cite the CNN interview? Even though the same opinion is being expressed?
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
What about when a liberal is being interviewed on Fox and gives a liberal opinion about something? Something tells me that the professor wouldn't see that as "biased."

Stephanie Wolfe, a political science professor at West Liberty University in West Virginia, banned Fox News as a source for students' research papers. The professor said the news network "makes her cringe."
Robin Capehart, president of West Virginia, responded to complaints with the following: "One of our values at West Liberty is to encourage students to go out and inquire and gather information and look at as many different sources as possible on any side, before you reach your opinion... Any attempt to limit the breadth of a student's ability to investigate is obviously something at which we have a concern."
Should professors restrict certain sources from research? Does Fox News qualify as untruthful more than other sources? Or does the professor have a leftist political bias that she wants to arbitrarily impose on her students?
NEWSMAX.COM reports:
Wolfe's syllabus said:
DO NOT use
1) The Onion — this is not news this is literally a parody
2) Fox News — The tagline “Fox News” makes me cringe. Please do not subject me to this biased news station. I would almost rather you print off an article from the Onion

They would do better to cite the Onion. At least the Onion's stories include SOME actual facts.
Never be convinced by the 'obvious'. Ever seen someone do card manipulations or the old shell game?
Sorry...just struck me as funny.
Here's an actual article.
And here's the Fox interpretation of it.
But that's fine, right? Twisting the words around to make it look like a bigger issue than it is?
Kind of like how when you point out things said by someone related to a high profile candidate;
That's attacking them, because it reflects poorly on their character
If you still believe every word that Fox spews out, you have no business discussing politics. Plain and simple. The very few facts that are thrown in are covered by embellishment and lies to garner ratings and support.
I had to lol at "I would almost rather you print off an article from the Onion". That's just priceless. But seriously? Get off your lazy arse and read some textbooks, look up court cases, watch a direct feed of the bumbling idiots in the House trying to figure everything out (C-SPAN isn't hard to watch, folks.)
You people reflect negatively on humanity.
Fox's little hound-dog, Gleck, busted his chops here. They made no effort to correct it.
Almost all of their stories, while they happened, are cast under a light that twists who the hero and villain is. They get away with it by writing it off as speculation, but it's very rare that any of their speculation is addressed as such.
disparaging towards WLU, then they should be permitted as a source
for the student body, their public media, and student project research.
