Modern Language Association Blocks the Daily Caller from Covering Convention
It seems the left wing organization doesn’t want any honest reportage of their activities.
The Daily Caller’s Eric Owens has the story.
Modern Language Association’s fascist douchebags outlaw The Daily Caller from convention
The Daily Caller has been banned from the convention of the Modern Language Association (MLA), an annual showcase for academic douchebags.
TheDC had been looking forward to the four-day hothouse of leftism, which this year will feature a session on a controversial academic boycott of Israel.
Sadly, TheDC won’t be able to cover the session because the fascist, Stalinist douchebags at the MLA flatly denied TheDC’s routine request to cover it.
“The convention office reviewed you request but will not be issuing media credentials for the Daily Caller,” wrote Mark Aurigemma, the MLA’s press liaison, in an email.
The communications consultant did not respond to an email seeking a reason for the denial. This year’s convention will be held at the Chicago Marriott and the Sheraton Chicago Jan. 9 to Jan. 12.
The fascist academics who run the MLA will, of course, allow pro-fascist, pro-douchebag journalists to cover the convention. A page at the MLA website dedicated to convention policies notes that there will be a full-time press office, “located in the Chicago Marriott (Printers Row, 2nd floor).”
Journalists who have mingled among the fascist douchebags at past MLA conventions include, just to take one example, Scott McLemee, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Nation and, of course, Red Wedge, a proud hub for revolutionary Marxists.
Additionally, several fascist douchebags aligned with the Revolutionary Communist Progressive Labor Party “helped to bring communism and class struggle to the 2013 MLA convention” in Boston.
“Party members gave papers on various facets of literary radicalism,” according to the Progressive Labor Party’s website. “The current economic crisis, along with the dire job market faced by many humanities scholars and teachers, has many MLA members querying the legitimacy of capitalism.”
