Leftist academics. (is there any other kind these days?)

‘A Notre Dame university lecturer has given a student poor marks for referencing News Corp outlets in an assignment on asylum-seekers.
The lecturer expressed her anger over News Corp in red pen on a student’s essay, writing: “A tabloid news website owned by RUPERT MURDOCH is NOT research. This task is designed so you can sift through all the information that’s out there (mostly factual) and get real empirical evidence.”
Another comment by the lecturer said: “This is awful just awful if you used proper factual evidence that isn’t spun by Rupert Murdoch you wouldn’t have this confused. Stick to scholarly journalists.” Yet another comment referred to “a toilet news web site owned by Rupert Murdoch.”
This was all because the student had not adhered to the lecturer’s left-leaning position on asylum-seekers.’   (bold mine)    via Tim Blair
