(Sorry, some of Bilge_Rat must have infected my post...)...
This is how you do it:
Read the article and noticed it was dated "14 hours ago"; checked Google News and Yahoo News to confirm and found no mention. I copied a string of the article's text and found out the original articles (there were more than one) actually first appeared back on or about 12 December 2016, not "14 hours ago"; this indicates that while the "Truth Monitor" article seemed a current response to a current situation, it in fact is a recite of five-month old articles passed off as current 'fact':

These articles appeared originally a
full month ahead of the inauguration Trump and represent a range of
opinions, not necessarily fact, about a long-debated issue, an issue that will most likely be argued for as many decades to come as it has for decades preceding: it ultimately proves nothing, conclusively. Like the Trump Campaign-Russian issue, it certainly requires further discussion and investigation...
It must be pointed out the original source of the articles is, in fact, a panel discussion held by and on the MSNBC program
Morning Joe; we all know from that paragon of wisdom, Donald Trump, MSNBC is a fountain of "fake news" and misinformation; perhaps the panel discussion was a ruse to raise yet another issue that doesn't exist, you know like ties between Trump campaign staff and Russia; I mean, we can't trust MSNBC because, after all, Trump says they lie and can't be trusted and we all know how honest Donny is...
As far as
Truth Monitor is concerned...ahem:
Quote:
...
A questionable source exhibits any of the following: extreme bias, overt propaganda, poor or no sourcing to credible information and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence. Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact checked on a per article basis. ...
Bias: Extreme Right

The site does go on to give examples of
Truth Monitor's apparent disregard for anything near the Truth...
I'm more than willing to listen to anyone's viewpoint as long as that view is based in actual fact, not propaganda, or, worse, tin-foil hat vagaries...
BTW, I actually do believe there is a pervasive liberal bent in higher education and I do believe it colors a great deal of what is taught; is it as serious as the Far-Right makes it out to be? Perhaps not, but it is an interesting question that bears further investigation...
