Have you ever questioned the credibility of a study you may have seen on the news, only to dismiss it as an unimportant detail? Or perhaps you’ve seen statistics cited in an article that just seemed to be way off the mark, and you just shrugged it off as political bias on the source’s part?
For years, our institutions of higher education and the professors teaching at those facilities have been held in the highest regard. They have served as the go-to sources for critical research and information to help support the nation’s decision-making in a wide variety of areas, including major governmental policies. Businesses, organizations, industries, lawmakers and news outlets all depend upon the nation’s educational institutions as their research sources. Think about it. So much of the information that you read and listen to today is supported by a study or a paper or a poll conducted by a college or a university.
So what would happen if you were to find out that some of these educational institutions have been less than honest and straightforward about their research methodology?
Would you trust what you read in the newspapers? Would you trust what you hear on the news? Most importantly, would you trust your child’s intellectual future to the hands of these institutions?
Tomorrow, Big Journalism will expose evidence of a culture that exists at some institutions, where the predisposition to leftist bias is so appalling, so unjust, that it goes well beyond the typical claims of bias on either side of the political spectrum. It may well affect the way you view the information that you digest in the normal course of your everyday life. And you may very well question some of the information that you may have relied upon in the past.
Join us in the morning as we publish the first in a series of posts that will be sure to have you second-guessing what you thought were some of the most trustworthy sources in education.
