And like raveneye said, look at the source of this.
That is the problem with a liberal bias in higher education. If you aren't a conspiracy spewing, ivory tower communist, you are instantly labeled a "right wing nut job". I've dealt with this at my school as a student. There is no flow of free ideas, the same tired liberal trash gets repeatedly passed around as the truth. You don't get a chance to try to defend your beliefs, they are immediately seen as wrong. Dogmatic thought is bad in an acedemic environment, be it liberal or conservative.
