Chris Cuomo: “Is There a Liberal Influence in Universities? The Answer is Yes”

And the sky is blue and water’s wet. For Chris Cuomo to acknowledge that there is a liberal influence in American universities is to do nothing more than to state the incontestably obvious.

Even so, it was refreshing this morning to hear the CNN host admit an irrefutable fact that many on the left might nevertheless deny: that American academia slants strongly to the left. Cuomo asked and answered his own question: “is there a liberal influence in universities? The answer is yes.”

Cuomo was merely acknowledging the irrefutable.

Even so, many on the left would deny it.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

To even ask this question is absurd.

Only a declaration of truth would be sane.

Chris Cuomo is semi-retarded, there is no other reasonable explanation.

It’s more than an influence.

Conservative under 40 and you have no heart.

Liberal over 40 and you have no brain.

I believe that quote is attributable to Winston Churchill

If you have to ask that stupid question you are a product of that influence.

Is there Communist influence in Universities?

people continue to talk about “liberalism”, but that has long pasted; what’s really going on at all levels is pure leftism, which is liberalism on steroids will all of its classic mitigating elements stripped away, leaving nothing but a stark and raw desire for complete government ownership and control of every aspect of all of our lives by an all-powerful elitist ruling element that governs solely by pure force.

"It’s more than an influence."

Roger that. This was like saying the sun has an "influence" on why it's not dark during the day.

The scope of the question is also wrong. The liberal influence is endemic in the entire educational system from bottom to top. Schools are indoctrination centers, not educational institutions.

As Karl Marx might have put it, today’s “progressive” schools are controlled by a “Dictatorship of the Proletariat”.
