WATCH: Profs worried about Campus Reform, threaten student correspondent

https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=17194

During a Zoom discussion discussing “the experience of being threatened, intimidated and harassed,” professors Lora Burnett, who teaches at Collin College, and Sami Schalk, who teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, took aim at Campus Reform as part of the “right-wing media ecosphere.”

Burnett, who was recently fired from her job at Collin College after the school condemned a series of "vile" tweets referring to Vice President Mike Pence as a "demon" and accusing former President Donald Trump of being “the head of a death cult,” said the school “threw me under the bus.”
...
After Campus Reform reported on both hers and Schalk’s tweets calling Pence a “racist f**king piece of s**t” and a “scumbag lying sonofab***h,” Burnett accused Campus Reform of exposing these tweets due to them being “women, and we both work for public institutions.”
...
Later in the discussion, Schalk admitted that UW-Madison’s spokeswoman, Meredith Mcglone, messages her when Campus Reform sends media inquiries and added that the IT department scrubs information from their websites when the school is contacted.
...
Burnett then took aim at Campus Reform correspondent Haley Worth, saying, “Believe me, I know way more about [Haley] than she knows about me.”

At the end of the Zoom call, Schalk chimed in on Burnett’s comments regarding Worth, saying they need to “give them a taste of their own medicine.”

“Haley Worth, I don’t like her. I don’t like that little girl. So I’m gonna go ahead and say that publicly, because she is creating harassment for me and she knows it. So yes, the journalists that are journalists in scare quotes that are participating in this, absolutely, and if I do have someone who is dumb enough to send me an email from their actual account with their actual name, dumb, brave, whatever, um yeah, I will go ahead and make that real public too because I would love for people to have their, like, family and friends know the kind of things they are saying to me… Give them a taste of their own medicine," Schalk said.
