Somebody really needs to send James O'Keefe up to campus as an MSNBC reporter without a permit and see if Cornell kicks them off.

Not like their students are adults or anything...

Sheeeeyit.

I don't know how old O'Really's kids are but I'll bet a dollar to a donut that when it comes time for them to fly off to college, he's going to send them to a left-wing indoctrination factory as left-wing as Cornell.

I'm guessing Hahvahd.

Translation: We are deathly afraid that our students might be made aware that there are points of view which conflict with our own.

Like many universities, Cornell is more a religious cult than an institution of higher learning. (I spoke once with a reknowned Cornell biologist who has become a Christian, who said pretty much just that.)

In all fairness, while Cornell is a liberal bastion, and booted FOX because they don’t like FOX, the reporters are also to blame because they were doing ambush-style reporting.

It’s a technique to thrust a microphone in somebody’s face, along with an impatient question, in an effort to make them look bad. If the same question is asked, then they are given a minute to think about it before answering, they sound less foolish.

If you see a reporter doing this, never play along, or you could find yourself in the news looking deficient.

A non-answer answer.

Liberal bias?

Cornell University believes in exposing students to a diverse set of perspectives.


We expose our students to BOTH kinds of politics, socialism AND communism.

What a bunch of liberal BS. Cornell only wants the liberal viewpoints given by their sheep professors. They aren’t interested in hearing opposing views. Yep, Cornell fits right in with the lefty college hacks.

One conservative is not allowed to ask questions but the Cornell faculty can spout liberal dogma all day long to a captive student audience. If a college truly respects freedom of expression and diversity of political views, it should not get defensive when a lone reporter asks innocent questions.

Its also apparent that Cornell is anxious about have ignorance exposed in its own students. But Jesse is trying to provoke some of them into expanding their thinking process and learning more. One would think that type of thing would be applauded on any campus.

Contrast this with the way in which Liberty University not only invited Bernie Sanders to speak on campus, but gave him a warm and polite reception.

Then tell me who is really about free speech.

Cornell alums should demand this bitch be fired. It was a discretionary call and she blew it.

That must be taken from the course description for Newspeak 101.

Way overdue I was worried that Cornell had come to their senses. I am relieved to learn that nothing has changed since 1969.
