University professors are not taking kindly to the latest Pew Research poll numbers showing Republican-leaning voters have an unreceptive view of academia, and some are pointing the finger of blame at conservative media.
The June 2017 Pew survey showed 58 percent of right-leaning voters reported higher education has a negative impact on the country. Only 36 percent of Republicans polled held a favorable view – a hefty double-digit loss from the 54 percent favorability polled just two years ago.

>>Whole “disciplines” are overrun with cultural Marxists and it’s the media’s fault people have a low opinion of them?
On that note, have you seen any of Dr. Jordan Peterson’s lectures? He’s got a thing or two to say about the cultural Marxists and post-Modernists. Very worthwhile.

The Professors need to look in the mirror, before they blame anyone else for their decline in respectability. They have been working for almost three generations, which I know of, to earn the disrespect of all rational men & women.
Media has nothing to do with it. There are two primary reasons for the dismal view of academia:
1.) Universities that suck on the public teat, producing little more than dreck, and which induce youngsters to take on lifelong loans for the sole purpose of Marxist indoctrination in place of learning skills and knowledge necessary for the student to become a productive citizens.
2.) Fake and fraudulent “science”:
A.) Fake climate “science”
B.) Fake nutritional “science”
C.) Fake cosmology “science” that says life is nothing more than a temporary pocket of negative entropy.
Yep.
I note that he has said (in the context of talking about how funding helps cultural Marxism to prosper) governments not funding universities is interfering with them rather than government funding them is interfering with them, which presumes that they have a natural claim on tax money.

Evan Coyne Maloney of http://brain-terminal.com/ put a documentary together called Indoctrinate U.
Excellent film.
Thanks, Eddie01. I’m through the the 1st 30 minutes. Yes, very good. Ivory tower tactics. Very telling.
Universities have been standing fashionably and loudly against mainstream values and traditions to demonstrate how progressive and non-conventional they are for sixty years at least - it didn’t take conservative media to convince the public, especially alumni, that higher education does not have the best interests of the country in mind......
Things have changed. Science and engineering professors are no longer the way they were 20 years ago. Many of them are quite liberal or at least they pretend to be that way to keep their jobs and grant money coming in.
On target, but don’t forget
Fake Keynesian “economics” in which there is no scarcity nor day of reckoning for a rogue state.
About 80 percent of economists at prestigious universities are technicians without a clue about how the world really works. They go through life with blinders on.
About 80 percent of economists at backwater universities have at least a clue about how the world really works.
Problem is, almost all of the academic journals and publishing houses are controlled by the first 80 percent rather than the second.
