The notion that American academia is a liberal bubble and echo chamber is nothing that Legal Insurrection hasn’t documented and decried a thousand times. But it is refreshing to hear that complaint coming from the lips . . . of a leading liberal journalist.
Today’s Morning Joe devoted a segment to self-described liberal Nicholas Kristof’s New York Times column, “The Dangers of Echo Chambers on Campus.” Key lines: “We liberals . . . too often, we embrace diversity of all kinds except for ideological . . . We champion tolerance, except for conservatives and evangelical Christians. We want to be inclusive of people who don’t look like us — so long as they think like us.”
Also encouraging was the panel’s consensus in praise of the column, including by Dems Mika Brzezinski and Harold Ford, Jr., and even from fellow Timesman Jeremy Peters.

Double flying-pig alert!
1. Liberal columnist Nicholas Kristof of the NY Times criticizes liberal bubble on campus.
2. Morning Joe praises Kristof column.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
...says the pointy headed academic before his funding is about to get cutoff!
“Liberal”?
Pinko.
Bat shtt crazy Pinko.
Academia that is.
Gay NYTimes lib discovers he-men in Appalachia.
Now that we find out the Clintoon campaign wanted to get Mika fired from LSDPMSNBC, she is looking better.
Does this lurch by Kristoff toward sanity have anything to do with the evisceration he endured at the hands of Tucker Carlson?
I find it astonishing that they took so long to realize this. Not Mensa candidates.I guess.
Iceberg dead ahead, sir!...................
The first faint glimmer of the reality of why they have lost at all levels of government start to hit the Dims.
I wonder how long before Kristof is attacked and dismissed.
This story means nothing.
Well, I certainly hope not, but given the lengths the commie-lib Dems will go to, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I would love to hear Mika spout off about that- Take the demcraps to taks for tryign to affect her job just for disagreeing with them. That is communist ministry of propaganda stuff, without the bullet to the head.
A sure and certain sign of the end of days!
“This story means nothing. Why do you say that?”
For there to be change, the problem must first be identified or admitted. For a leading liberal columnist to so clearly identify the problem, and for liberals on the panel to agree, are useful first steps, then.
1. There cannot be change. They are idealogues. They will say anything to cover their tracks and delude the dupes.
2. The problem has been identified since at least 1917.
3. Useful first steps for easily deluded useful idiots.
They are always, in all cases, lying to you.
