George Washington's biggest battle? With his dentures, made from hippo ivory and maybe slaves' teeth baloney

This is a great example of ideologically driven propaganda and demagoguery! Of course this hit piece was published on President's Day holiday in a clearly leftist media outlet!

When reading this long article you will learn the headline is pure speculation based on flimsy circumstantial evidence. Not to mention if a slave tooth was indeed used to manufacture Washington's denture, Washington paid for the tooth as was customary back then.

George Washington's biggest battle? With his dentures, made from hippo ivory and maybe slaves' teeth: As we celebrate the nation's founding, it's a good time to note the heroism of George Washington. The British were a pain, to be sure, but what really caused him trouble were his teeth.

Too Many Hit Pieces By MIT Technology Review

Update Of 5/26/2019

Here is another ridiculous headline pushed by MIT Technology Review today (5/26/2018) on their Facebook page:

The underlying article with same headline, again is quite old: China Publishes More Scientific Articles Than the U.S. (published 1/18/2018). Why the MIT Technology Review pushes old articles on their Facebook page and most of the times without indicating the age of the underlying article is another major annoyance!

My comment: Quantity is not quality! Communists like to produce quantity no matter what the quality!

Original Post

Just saw this latest, mostly meritless hit piece by MIT Technology Review: People are calling for Zuckerberg’s resignation. Here are just five of the reasons why. Facebook has been beset by scandals over the last year and many believe that nothing will change until its founder and CEO is gone. I received this hit piece courtesy of MIT TR daily newsletter (the articles promoted in this newsletter are not always current).

It is very appalling that a once prestigious media outlet publishes/engages in such crap! I certainly do not sympathize with everything that Facebook does!

I do not have the time to refute or dispute all the claims made in the above hit piece, but I am very confident that they do not hold up to scrutiny or a more balanced evaluation!

These “reasons” were carefully selected with bias, are extremely exaggerated and overblown. Yes, there were hacks, privacy issues, unprecedented access to user data etc. However, social media is very new form of business that did not even exist before the turn of the century! Of course, mistakes are made etc.

Low and behold, there was another hit piece in same newsletter:

The economic argument behind the Green New Deal Economist Mariana Mazzucato explains how rethinking industrial policy could be key to tackling climate change.

In short, the argument is in favor of socialist central planning! The indoctrination with climate religion and Global Warming hoax continues!
