Cringe AP Article Defends Harvard Plagiarist · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  So twenty twenty four is starting off with a full on mask off moment for
• 0:08
  the mainstream press. Here we have from the Associated Press Harvard president's resignation highlights
• 0:15
  new conservative weapon against colleges plagiarism. Well, isn't that interesting? So that's
• 0:23
  a conservative weapon And I guess that kind of in a crazy way makes sense
• 0:28
  because the left now considers, you know, things like merit and hard work
• 0:32
  to be racist. But in any case, that community note had something to
• 0:36
  say about this. Plagiarism is a breach of rules for Harvard University. Claudine
• 0:41
  Gay was ultimately forced to resign for a series of breaches of this policy.
• 0:47
  Plagiarism or application of the rules around plagiarism, therefore, cannot be considered a
• 0:53
  weapon. And if we go to Harvard's website, what constitutes plagiarism, Well,
• 0:58
  it says here taking credit for anyone else's work is stealing and it is
• 1:03
  unacceptable in all academic situations, whether you do it intentionally or by accident.
• 1:11
  I imagine they'll probably rewrite this in the next couple of days to taking credit
• 1:15
  for anyone else's work is reparations. But let's go to the article itself,
• 1:19
  and it looks to me like they change the headline plagiarism charges down Harvard's president.
• 1:26
  A conservative attack helped to fan the outrage. Yeah, and there's like
• 1:30
  fifty allegations of plagiarism out of the mere seventeen papers that she actually did publish.
• 1:38
  I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out she plagiarized her own resignation letter.
• 1:42
  And actually, just through here, I've just got a new statement from
• 1:45
  her. It says, I have a dream that my seventeen published papers will
• 1:52
  one day live in a university where they will not be judged by their originality
• 1:57
  but by DEI Prince pulls ps. All of my critics are racists. And
• 2:04
  just because I made that up entirely doesn't mean it's not true. And this
• 2:08
  story is being reprinted in Canada. By the way, this is the same
• 2:13
  story here, different headline, that's on the CBC. Here's CTV printing the
• 2:17
  same story. I just do this to show you that Canadian media is also
• 2:22
  retarded. Now get a load of this, says American higher education has long
• 2:27
  viewed plagiarism as a cardinal sin. Accusations of academic dishonesty have ruined the careers
• 2:34
  a faculty and undergraduates alike. The latest target is Harvard President Claudine Gay.
• 2:40
  But the latest target so now so now punishing people for stealing. And that's
• 2:47
  what Harvard calls it itself on its own website. So punishing people for stealing
• 2:54
  in an academic setting is now targeting them. And when you see this kind
• 3:00
  of framing, you understand just how sleazy these journalists really are. But anyway,
• 3:07
  in her case, the outrage came not from her academic peers, but
• 3:10
  her political foes, led by conservatives, who put her career under intense scrutiny.
• 3:16
  So it says the outrage came not from her academic peers, Well,
• 3:20
  yes it is. It's academics who wrote papers who were saying, yes,
• 3:24
  she plagiarized my work. But the thing is, if you're on the wrong
• 3:29
  side of an issue from the media's perspective, you no longer count as a
• 3:34
  peer or as an expert. I think we've kind of figured that out over
• 3:38
  the last few years. Right. How about this. Christopher Rufo, a
• 3:42
  conservative activist who helped orchestrate the effort against Gay, celebrated her departure as a
• 3:49
  win in his campaign against elite institutions of higher education. On x formerly Twitter,
• 3:55
  he wrote scalped as if gay was a trophy of violence, invoking a
• 4:00
  gruesome practice taken up by white colonists who sought to eradicate Native Americans, and
• 4:08
  also used by some tribes against their enemies. So that's interesting. This almost
• 4:12
  feels kind of attacked on at the end, doesn't it. I wonder why
• 4:15
  that is. Well, here's the same sentence from the same article when it
• 4:19
  was first published, and that part isn't tacked on to the end. There
• 4:24
  it just says taken up by white colonists who sought to eradicate Native Americans.
• 4:29
  So obviously they've done a stealth edit and added on the part and also used
• 4:34
  by some tribes against their enemies to make their article seem a little bit less
• 4:41
  idiotic, and amazingly, it makes it even more idiotic. And you know
• 4:46
  what's interesting. Nowhere in this article does it mention that there was an update
• 4:50
  to this article, that it had been changed in any way from the original.
• 4:55
  Oh, maybe the editor studied journalism at Harvard. And this is after
• 4:59
  Christopher Rufo himself responded associated progressives. AP is trying to run the false narrative
• 5:05
  that white colonists invented scalping to eradicate Native Americans, without noting that in fact,
• 5:14
  the Indians originated the practice in North America, and in modern times it
• 5:18
  is a common journalistic phrase. But just for the record, here's from a
• 5:24
  noted far right blog Wikipedia, Intertribal Conflict. There is substantial archaeological evidence of
• 5:30
  scalping in North America in the pre Columbian era. Carbon dating of skulls shows
• 5:35
  evidence of scalping as early as six hundred AD, so I guess insummation Associated
• 5:41
  Press thinks that it's totally unfair and actually pretty racist that Claudine Gay was forced
• 5:47
  to resign just because she's an academic fraud. But not only that white people
• 5:54
  went to a place with a long, long history of scalping and also scalped,
• 6:00
  which is way more evil because they were white. Right, Maybe if
• 6:03
  they'd had a bit more time they could have worked in how like bird names
• 6:05
  are racist too? Anyway, That's all I gotta say about that. Please
• 6:10
  subscribe, like and share sharing it really helps me out. I thank you
• 6:13
  for that. I will see you next time.
