This is required reading. If this is the grammer book, I would hate to see the history book!

Oh I know...its bad. This is my first year at a four year college, I haven't been to class, and I'm already seeing the bias.
To: ConservativeMan55
I will give you some examples of quotes from the so called "grammer" book.If that's how you spell "grammar," then you need a spelling book, too.

Lets get series about this left wing bias in our colleges.

These cretins have given themselves license to belch this stuff due to a convenient belief in the journalism community that since there is no such thing as "objectivity" one is free to propound whatever flat-earth nonsense one "feels" is appropriate any time one wants. And what is worse, this crap sells - and why not, they can force you to buy anything they want if it's a textbook. And still worse - they are comfortable doing this because so many others do.
If you feel like making trouble - I wouldn't recommend it, they get to decide if you get your piece of paper - but if you do, remind them that "diverse sources" MUST include conservative ones and challenge them to prove that they've included any. It's evident they don't bother to live up to their own benchmarks here, isn't it?

College Textbook filled with Left-Wing Bias. I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED I tell you!
To: Billthedrill
I went ahead and read the book before I entered the class.
They make you buy it before you start school.
Anyhow, I don't know how my professor would feel about this chapter..but I'm not worried about how the authors feel because I have no direct consequence from them.
I do not go to the college in which the authors teach.
To: ConservativeMan55
Beware - somebody on your faculty recommended that book to a textbook committee, either because he or she (note the "diverse" usage there) knows the authors (true much of the time) or because he or she doesn't see anything wrong with it. (Or, worse still, because he or she hasn't read it. That happens more than you'd like to believe).
But don't panic. You do have an antidote - FR.

I think our colleges need more folks like you taking journalism class! Good luck in your studies :-)

Thanks. I am attempting to join the OSU College Republicans Club. The website wasn't updated, but the group is still active! I'm excited about joining!
