call me pedantic, but how does the author of that article - and presumably the editor - neglect to italicize the title of the book? some new style guide being used?
Pedant.
Keep up the good work progressives! This is the fruit born of feckless, irrational liberal thinking. When you occupy a world where all of your ideas are assumed to be truth and there is no vetting process because the echo chamber is blind to fact, this is what happens. Academia is now strewn with non-thinking, fallacious presumptions, based upon feelings and purported affronts. When perpetually allowed to go unchallenged, this is what happens.
That’s pretty much the majority of people committed to the right and left at this point.
I disagree, particularly in the world of academia. Conservative speakers are routinely not allowed to speak, falsely censored under the guise of "hate speech" which has become a functionally useless term, serving to really mean "he/she hurts my feelings so they shouldn't be allowed to speak.
And yet, she has a megaphone to shout from the rooftops and a book deal, too.
Academia certainly is left leaning though there have been exceptions who have thrived like Jordan Peterson. I was more referring to the voices and especially the viewers/listeners.
I don’t know about that. There’s a long list of very successful right authors and media personalities who have been criticized for butchering the facts before. There’s also plenty of conservative slanted media outlets for them to continue to sell their ideas.
To your second point- I agree. There are certainly right leaning disinformation peddlers who go unchallenged by right leaning sources. I cannot dispute that.
That’s nothing compared to the Radio/TV time Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump have gotten. I really do not think it’s imbalanced. However that’s just my general opinion based on what I see, follow on Twitter, etc.
Fair enough.
She was on both Clinton and Gore's campaign and is considered an intellectual politico. She belongs here, easily.
Twitter, YT and FB are left? There’s a #### ton of far right stuff on there.
The you really haven't followed fashionably intellectual politics as in-depth as some of us. That's quite simple, isn't it?
