agree. Abolish tenure. It's the only way; otherwise it's permanent, because the left wing academics only hire people like themselves. I've seen a few articles on it, but only a few. That movement has to grow. Hopefully the MSM will lose their power as the internet becomes the medium of choice for information. Murdoch buying the WSJ is a hopeful sign, but it has to be at least five years before it's competitive, and he's 76. Anything that breaks the NYT stranglehold on setting the news will be a huge help. They define how the policy issues are framed throughout the MSM. Hollywood is another problem. Once again, perhaps the internet can provide an alternate voice, but not without huge funding for conservative media makers.
