Professor Bans FOX News In Political Science Class Citing It As Bias

Stephanie Wolfe, a visiting assistant professor at West Liberty University (WLU), wrote these policies for her political science class:

“DO NOT use:

1) The Onion — this is not news this is literally a parody

2) Fox News — The tagline “Fox News” makes me cringe. Please do not subject me to this biased news station. I would almost rather you print off an article from the Onion”

You read it right. The professor banned FOX News as a source of information and students were not allowed to cite it as a reference.

Robin Capehart, the President at West Liberty University, issued a statement via WTOV:

“One of our values at West Liberty is to encourage students to go out and inquire and gather information and look at as many different sources as possible on any side, before you reach your opinion,” Capehart told WTOV.

“Any attempt to limit the breadth of a student’s ability to investigate is obviously something at which we have a concern,” he added.

After all the complaints received, Wolfe has already lifted any limitation on research sources.
