Harvard Study: Misinformation 'Experts' a Bunch of Leftists
DAVID STROM 12:30 PM | March 25, 2024
No doubt many of the people who make these judgments actually believe them to be good ones, because they begin with the belief that their vision of the good is superior to yours, so they should be in charge of deciding what you believe for your own good. Others don't care whether it is good for you or not, because their only concern is what is good for them.
They are all Left-wing. The modal "disinformation expert" classifies himself as "fairly left-wing," and 85% of them classify themselves as at least somewhat left-wing.
It is quite possible to be left-wing and honest, but it is impossible to have an ideologically homogenous group whose job it is to determine "truth" to be unbiased. When everybody begins the process with a set of biases, those biases get reinforced rather than challenged. When everybody in the same room agrees at the beginning, everybody in that room will come to the same conclusion.
And that's if you assume everybody has goodwill, which in a politically charged environment is a rather generous assumption. I don't assume that to be the case when I walk into a room of Republican politicians, and given what I know about how political debates take place I am quite confident that isn't true of anybody else trying to convince people of a position.

It turns out that the judges of "misinformation" are those who create most of it.
