If you’ve ever read a Will Bunch column in the Philadelphia Daily News, you might think he comes off as a cross between a less verbose Paul Krugman … and less grandiose Keith Olbermann.
His beef this week is Turning Point USA’s “Professor Watchlist,” which he dubs “McCarthyism for the Bullying Age.”
As previously reported by The College Fix, the Watchlist merely compiles “publicly available information.” Turning Point’s Matt Lamb says, “If you tweet or post something on Facebook, or go on a rant in class, you have a reason to believe someone is going to write a story about it and that not everyone will take it well.”
