Look at what the left has done to America.This evokes the methods of the Third Reich.
NYU Journalism School Hires Ex-New Yorker Fact Checker Who Falsely Said ICE Agent Had Nazi Tattoo
Talia Lavin’s undergraduate course “Reporting on the Far Right” will kick off in the fall semester of 2019
New York University has hired Talia Lavin as an adjunct journalism professor less than a year after the former New Yorker fact checker resigned after falsely accusing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent of having a Nazi tattoo.
Lavin’s undergraduate course “Reporting on the Far Right” will kick off in the fall semester of 2019 at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. In its official faculty bio, the university billed Lavin as an expert in “far-right extremism and social justice.”
‘What are we doing?’ Look who NYU just hired to teach a course about ‘Reporting on the Far Right’
Remember Talia Lavin? She’s the former New Yorker fact checker who got famous for smearing a Marine Corps veteran and ICE analyst as a Nazi. Shortly thereafter, she wound up joining Media Matters “as a researcher on far-right extremism and the alt-right.”Well, she’s since moved on to bigger and better things. Like … teaching a “Reporting on the Far Right” course at NYU:

Because why the hell not?

Why wouldn’t they mention something like that?
Just weeks after leaving the New Yorker, Lavin was hired by Media Matters to work as a researcher on "far-right extremism" — and though she continues to represent herself as employed there on LinkedIn, I'm told she left the organization months ago.https://t.co/wwLOdWIaDm pic.twitter.com/fKLl8DEV63

From an NYU journalism student:
"I don't know why someone who had to quit their journalism job for falsely implying someone is a Nazi should be teaching at NYU. I know there are plenty of reporters out there in need of work who haven't made a mistake like that."

And look what else she did:

We don’t know why someone like Talia Lavin should be teaching at NYU, either. Yet here we are.
Unbelievable https://t.co/PsQbuF5sZ0

Why is that even a course? What are we doing?

Maybe they can be sold for scrap somewhere.

Fake, but accurate.
Basically NYU is hiring all of the worst journalists in the media to teach others about journalism. https://t.co/9jhxBQFxbQ

CNN gets a Cronkite award for the Parkland Town Hall and Talian Lavin and Lauren Duca are teaching journalism at NYU. Is there any wonder why the media is a dumpster fire?
