Professor Bans Fox News as Classroom News Source

here's another story of visiting professor of journalism the west liberty university in west virginia stephanie wolfe turns out that on her syllabus she wrote students will not use fox news or the onion and sources the onion is satire and foxnews makes me cringe so foxnews obtained a copy of the syllabus and of course they're very very angry about it uh... the university president robin k part didn't agree with wolf's decision saying one of our values 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 breath of the student's ability to investigate is obviously something at which we have a concern curious grammar in the statement from the uh... uh... college president but regardless it's interesting because understand that maybe you compare various online media outlets to t_v_ outlets to academic journals and you say you know what i'm going to rule out tv news network to know c_n_n_ is not really a source for an academic paper and neither is fox news in either is msnbc dot that's one conversation that we can have even within these sources of information we could say well you know foxnews does allowed the agenda to infiltrate even their supposedly news reporting right at the same time you can be partition and opinionated and still report news right so you could you could say we have straight news with as a little bit opinion is possible even though i believe you can't really eliminate any bias altogether but then we said we have as close to straight news as possible you have about kind of biased their participation tation of fact write a factual factual news and then you have just a distortion of the fact which i think what is what fox news this is a number of views we can have on this i'll start with the time to go to louis on this is it fair in a college setting to single out foxnews specifically as a source that can be used well uh... yes i mean the short answer is yes but the long answer is there are a number of other organizations where i think they might have to do the same uh... i think that talks is very clearly demonstrated in the last decade that they're not as serious news organization and if you're studying journalism which is exactly fox doesn't do i think that you probably wanna leave it out it's an entertaining organization which should be studying film schools and t_v_ production schools uh... yeah i mean it's lines right is that he and you're right i mean it is perfectly possible to get news profile and uh... like if you heard it that's for you heard about the hegel filibuster arbitral that there was a deliberate about to happen so i mean i i guess it depends on on what your lenses but uh... i think that for any college writing you should not be using any television news unless it's like a local news story and you're saying this station reported acts about this broader story but going to c_n_n_'s boxer msnbc which in most cases are really does read writing or re presenting original reporting by others maybe he's just shouldn't be using any of those but that being said this is that it is funny it's being single that i agree unfortunately that they are very convenient because you just saying they make themselves any easy uh... uh... easy news source to just copy over and say hey fathi senate right
