Nolte: Left-Wing Affirmative Action Sends Brian Stelter to Harvard

After being fired from CNN, serial liar Brian Stelter will enjoy a soft and lucrative landing at far-left Harvard University.

By John Nolte


After being fired from CNN, serial liar Brian Stelter will enjoy a soft and lucrative landing at far-left Harvard University.

Yes, on Monday, the following was announced…

“NEWS: @brianstelter is coming to the @Kennedy_School as the center’s 2022 Walter Shorenstein Fellow!” the Shorenstein Center Twitter account announced. “He’ll be holding a series of public events and community discussions about democracy and the role of the media in preserving it. Welcome, Brian!”

The political left has the game so rigged, you can only sit back and admire the genius of it all.

It is things like Tater landing at Harvard that keep those who infest media, politics, academia, and entertainment in line.

Don’t you see? It’s the rewards, the payoffs, and how failure means nothing that create a Brian Stelter. If you do and say what the left requires, that’s all that’s required.

In anything resembling a meritocracy, due to the fact that he is objectively an imbecile, a proven liar, and a ratings disaster, Stelter would have been laughed off the planet and into obscurity years ago.

But like many oafs poisoned with ambition, he has a survival instinct. That instinct informs him (accurately) that if he keeps lying, keeps trolling us MAGAtards, keeps spreading the left’s fascist propaganda, and does so in an utterly shameless way, he will always have a place in the left’s institutional affirmative action program that rewards this behavior.

Talent has nothing to do with success in media, entertainment, or academia.

Success has nothing to do with it.

The only thing that matters is proving your fealty to these people, and the more you are willing to humiliate yourself in the process of proving your fealty, the more you are guaranteed to fail upward.

Ava DuVernay would be directing soap operas in a meritocracy. Instead, she’s treated like an A-list director. Same with Olivia Wilde.

Ben Smith pretty much destroyed BuzzFeed, which had been a fun, apolitical site until he waddled in. Then he ends up at the New York Times. And now, even though he’s a proven failure at running a news outlet, a bunch of venture capitalists are about to make him filthy rich as he launches another news site no one’s going to read.

Jimmy Kimmel is ratings poison. Everything he touches (Oscars, Emmys) hits record-low ratings, including his own show. In a meritocracy, Kimmel would be working cruise ships. Instead, he’s treated like the King of Late Night.

Jimmy Fallon took over the popular, historic, and iconic Tonight Show and promptly drove it into a ratings ditch. In a meritocracy, he’d be opening for Kimmel on those cruise ships.

What saves these no-talents is left-wing affirmative action. And they know it. We see this constant parade of failures who remain at the top of the world in the news media and entertainment. But this parade of losers knows that they don’t need to work hard, learn, or hone their craft. All they have to do, instead, is toss away their self-respect and prove their fealty. Shameless, degrading fealty is how you become rich and famous in America today. The left prey on your pride and ambition, and your soul ends up in a jar.

No serious university would invite Brian Stelter to lecture on anything other than the dangers of binge eating. But Harvard is not a serious university. It exists only to turn young people into fascist borgs and bribe the world’s Brain Stelters into doing what they are told.

WOOT!

Completely off topic - Some here remember that when I used reader mode in Brave to paste-in links, there was a space after the ".com" and the rest of the link. If I didn't fix it manually, it broke the link. Well, it looks like that bug has finally been fixed!

The commie revolving door for loyal flunkies...

 

[Dobbin]

So they grow potatoes at Harvard?

Or maybe they just "freeze" them for storage?

This might be a "resume expanding" appointment only. A tater tot holding pattern until something better comes up?

Like an ambassadorship?

Harvard’s Misinfo Program Abandoned, Leftist Prof Fired and Defunded​

By Molly Bruns February 4, 2023

“Misinformation expert” Joan M. Donovan will no longer be a teacher or a researcher at Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy. Her research project will expire at the beginning of 2024.

According to the Post Millennial, the University released a statement saying the project is “winding down,” and is lacking in leadership, but did not report any specific details.

“The Technology and Social Change project is winding down — through an extended transition — because it does not have intellectual and academic leadership by a full HKS faculty member, as required of all long-term research and outreach projects at HKS,” Smith wrote.

Donovan is the research director at the Shoenstein Center, and leads a protect titled “Technology and Social Change,” which “explores media manipulation as a means to control public conversation, derail democracy and disrupt society,” according to the Center’s description of the project.

“TaSC conducts research, develops methods, and facilitates workshops for journalists, policy makers, technologists, and civil society organizations on how to detect, document, and debunk media manipulation campaigns,” the description added.

Due to the cancellation of the project, Donavan cannot hire any more staff or raise additional funding. In fact, she now has a cap on her spending until the project expires.

Donovan has a notorious reputation as a left-wing “misinformation” researcher. One study she co-authored looked at the January 6 Capitol protest, which found that at least a fifth of the protestors who participated in the riot “were motivated to take part in the riot because they supported Trump.”

She also testified in front of House and Senate subcommittees, addressing the spread of misinformation online.

Harvard Kennedy School spokesperson James Smith confirmed the cancellation of the project, but reiterated the school’s commitment to studying misinformation.

“Harvard Kennedy School is committed to the teaching and study of misinformation and disinformation, and several faculty members are leading significant projects that address these topics,” he wrote.

They left a word out of their announcement, the word 'our' The announcement should read like this:

NEWS: @brianstelter is coming to the @Kennedy_School as the center's 2022 Walter Shorenstein Fellow! He'll be holding a series of public events and community discussions about our democracy and the role of the media in preserving it. Welcome, Brian!

This looks bad. And it is. But Stetler better make use of his $wansong. Private industry is different from what he has been in thus far. He'll have to produce or else. Oh well, not like I'd ever send my kid to Harvard anyway. The big universities no longer guarantee you anything but a debt load these days.

 

[bracketquant]

To make room for Stelter, first what's left of Veritas has to go.

 

[Babs]

Stelter should not be allowed any where near students.

 

[Old Gray Mare]

I can't think of a more appropriate place for him.

Who's more qualified to instruct and indoctrinate offspring of smug entitled leftist elitists? IMO he's had years of experience doing that at CNN. I don't understand how they justify the price tag but hey it's their money.
