    I work at a state wide community college, but I am 100% sure that this crap is happening in all areas. Public and private.They want to teach me to be MORE accepting of what I may completely disagree with. Happy that for right now it's NOT MANDATORY.

    For the weak-minded among us who continue to believe in polling data, the Brexit vote shows – yet again – what a biased absurdity the polls have become. But delusions and obfuscation runs deep in the mainstream trenches. Nate Cohn at the New York Times writes that "[i]t was not a cataclysmic polling failure[.] ... [I]t's hard to argue that this was a big polling failure." Sure it wasn't. Once you are done rolling around on the floor in laughter at claims that this wasn't a massive polling failure, read on.

    NEWS ANCHORS? AWAY!-- Let's 'Unembed' Embedded Media Bias by Lin Anderson The best idea to come out of the Iraq campaign thus far -- I mean, aside from bombing the Information Ministry there -- is the "embedding" of reporters with combat units in the field. Whether the combat units themselves consider this a dandy notion is, however, an open question. Journalists can be a real trial in the best of times, as my ex-wife will tell you long into the night. Embedding reporters may, at the very least, finally put the lie to one of those quotes that everyone is...
