Diversity of opinions in the media?!

Oh please.

Surely you didn't think that Time was going to award their Person of the Year award to a whistleblower like Clayton Cramer, did you?!

Conservative good deeds are simply NOT to be discussed in any positive light by liberals...

Good catch. That's right! Why wasn't Cramer on the cover of Time?

No surprise there. The media claims to be unbiased, but it suffers from the same liberal inbreeding that afflicts academia. From the article...

"Unfortunately, it seems to me that the Bellesiles scandal exposed the lack of political diversity within the profession. You see, at least part of why historians swallowed Arming America’s preposterous claims so readily is that it fit into their political worldview so well. I don’t mean that historians consciously decided not to look at Bellesiles’s claims because they were afraid of what they would find; I mean that Arming America said things, and created a system of thought so comfortable for the vast majority of historians, that they didn’t even pause to consider the possibility that something wasn’t right."
