the book about the columbia professors was written by david horowitze, and written about in the new york sun. it is safe to assume that there's a biiiiiiiiiiig conservative bias there.
Just because a individual/group has a 'clear bias' does not mean you can discredit what they say.
I always find it ironic how people pick and choose their biases, as if one bias is better than the other.
About 130 people were killed in car wrecks around the US today and many more were magled horribly. But the mainstream media turns a blind eye to that and instead reports that two planes at Newark Airport "bumped". And they wonder why mainstream news outlets are hemorrhaging money.
If something happens every day, it's not "news." Car accidents happen extremely often.
For example, there's at least one subway suicide per week. In 2006 on an average day, two people die of a homicide within the five boroughs.
With this much material, one could create a 24-hour "Car Accident, Murder and Suicide Network" on cable TV, or even possibly a weekly newsrag.
The public demands to know........yeah, right.
Someone ran into my car today while it was parked and drove off... when I find the guy, I'm going to kick him in the pickles.
Good bagels do not require butter. Stupid Microsoft.

Well...yeah, but also, no.
It's not about picking and choosing biases, it's about analyzing how biases affect whats coming out as 'fact' now isnt it, no?
And if you had RTFA, you'll see it's a deeply conservative writer, publicizing his book in a conservative newspaper about professors he himself deems dangerous for...having opposing and left leaning viewpoints. Shocker!!
And what apparently his defintions of being 'dangerous'? Having written pieces and essays that are critical of the Bush administration.
Yes, you should be open to everything that people say. But not at the expense of being naive and blind to the realities that cloud our media windstorm.
Hopefully, Truth and Logic will come out at the end of the day.
I thought by "dangerous professor" you meant a teacher who was most likely to molest the students, or pull a knife on someone. Jeez Louise! I hate people like Horowitz -- they take a legitimate complaint and escalate it to this five-alarm hysterical witch-hunt fervor, until they look like complete buffoons and any possibility for constructive criticism or reasonable debate is completely obliterated.
