University professor ‘told to inflate grades of hispanic and black students’

This. Let's not bandy propaganda as news.
Yeah people see their favourite colour and suddenly pretend no news can be biased.
This article itself is pretty factual, to be fair. All the quotes are taken verbatim from the lawsuit, which you can read here:
https://www.fairforall.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Zach-De-Piero-Complaint.pdf
That doesn't mean that De Peiro's claims are true, of course, but the Telegraph does appear to have reported them accurately.
Why do you believe it’s factual simply from reading the complaint? The Daily Telegraph does no follow-ups, interviews, or fact-checking (what we in the business might call “journalism”). It simply reports on the complaint and cowardly allows you to draw your own conclusions.
So we must ask: why did a right-wing propaganda outlet report this so uncritically? They have a well-established lack of interest in journalism. So what purpose was served by publishing this article and in this way?
This is why I posted it’s a bad source, and this is the problem with bad sources. Even the “factual” articles they publish are purposefully misleading at best… and total misrepresentations at worst.
The fact that they chose to report those claims in itself is part of their bias. Those kind of stories will always pop up if you give certain people platforms. Factual journalism would have required investigating the credibility of the claims before broadcasting them to the world.
