It's Only Free Speech Until it Offends the Left

Johnathan Lott

I was sitting at the College Republicans table on the Plaza of the Americas on Tuesday when a very rude individual came up to me.

An Answer to the Liberal Media Since 2006

Sycophants for Obama

Guest Columnist Adjunct UF Law Professor, Ed Harmon

In this campaign the print media, like the Gainesville Sun, and its parent, The New York Times, have acted as shameless sycophants for the Barack Obama campaign.

Little attention or prominence has been accorded to an in-depth analysis of the many positions that Sen.

Bryan Griffin

According to my survey, shown here, Obama would probably win the election in November. Unbeknownst to you, the viewer, I only asked three people. I also asked three people in a liberally inclined demographic: on a college campus. Does this accurately reflect the feeling of the American people? While the answer is clear, the liberal media still pull this trick all of the time. Poll Results

Take any introductory statistics class, and you will realize the subtleties of bias that creep into every survey and poll. Like proponents of Global Warming, those seeking the answers slant their information collection methods to match their opinions, and towards how they want the outcome to show... Read more.
