It always amazes me that the right see's the leftist bias among the educated as a conspiracy theory rather than the fact that neo liberalism has been proven to be a failure and that the facts lean left.
If the truth of the matter happens to be the leftist ideal then it is not biased to point that out.
People have stopped caring about facts and started seeing everything through some bullshit partisan lens, i often see people pointing out a leftist bias when the media reports studies into climate change..
If the right denies science we should not have to present their wrong side to remain unbiased.

And yet conservatives dominate Econ and Business departments.

That's because business interests literally buy the department's.

They go in, donate a ton of money, and then exert their influence on which professors are allowed to teach and which projects are allowed to be researched. Guess which professors are most willing to shill for business interests.

The Koch brothers basically own the Florida State University business department because they saved it from sinking in the early 2010s

Source required. For reference, the claim is that business interests control a majority of Economics and Business departments.

And yet conservatives dominate Econ and Business departments. They truly are the most educated in their field. I will trade you the climate denialists in return for the socialists.

I had some great professors who taught Classics and Literature, all educated people who were well studied and knowledgeable in their fields. But they never gave me any reason to trust them on fields outside their purview, or any reason to suspect that they had some great insight into human nature and the structure of society.

Are we just gunna keep bumping this thread?

When President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet at the White House Wednesday as Washington absorbed news of a massive data breach, the heads of most agencies relevant to the intrusion — including the Department of Defense, the State Department, the Justice Department, the director of national intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency — were absent.

After the meeting, Trump said nothing about the attack, which went undetected by his administration's intelligence agencies for months. As those agencies now mobilize to assess the damage — which the government said Thursday could be more widespread than initially thought, posing a "grave risk to the federal government" — the President himself remains silent on the matter, preoccupied instead with his election loss and his invented claims of widespread voter fraud.
