Right-wing media massively fails in attempt to smear Kavanaugh accuser and targets the wrong Christine Ford
17 Sep 2018 at 13:51 ET
Right-wing media personality Matt Drudge on Monday completely crashed and burned in his latest attempt to smear Christine Blasey Ford, who has gone on the record to accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of trying to rape her when they were both teenagers,
Specifically, Drudge promoted an article at Grabien News claiming to show that Ford got poor ratings from her students, some of whom purportedly described her as having a dark personality on the Rate My Professors website.
However, doing the slightest bit of detective work reveals that the article is targeting the wrong person.
In fact, the RateMyProfessors page refers to a Christine A. Ford, who taught at the social work department at California State University Fullerton, and who actually received only five reviews two of which rated her as awesome, two of which rated her as average, and only one of which rated her as awful.
Christine Blasey Ford, meanwhile, is a professor of clinical psychology at Palo Alto University who has never worked at Fullerton.
Some of Drudges followers chimed into inform him that he was attacking the wrong Chrstine Ford, but as of this writing, he still has not deleted the tweet.....................................................

Big shock, I know.
They don't call Jim Hoft "the dumbest man on the internet" for nothing.

I'm not going to bother to pull text from the article.

that the Christine who taught at California State University Fullerton sues him for slander.
They sink lower each day.

Rate my Professor is bullshit.
It mainly attracts students upset with the grades they received.

(4,723 posts)4. I'll second that
When I was a TA and taught a section , they'd complain about having to bring books to class or something that was a department policy that was beyond my control. I was easier on them most of the other TAs in my department, yet it was still all complaints. There wasnt anything stated on the reviews that gave the kind of info that would help someone decide if theyd be a good fit with me as their instructor.
