Melissa Zimdars

Melissa Zimdars, a communication and media professor at Merrimack College, is a feminist and left-wing activist who has been championed by the US mainstream media for puttimg together a list of “fake news” sites that she says should be completely avoided or banned if possible. In addition to some satirical and bogus sites, her list attacks the credibility of well-established alternative online news sites such as Breitbart, Infowars and Project Veritas.

She said she began writing the list because she didn’t approve of the sources her students were citing.

Criticism

Sean Hannity’s website warned that Zimdars’ list includes “mainstream conservative sources” and “is giving us insight into just what kind of websites the left plans on targeting for censorship.”
