Clean house at the universities. First thing that popped into my head.... I consider The marxists and socialists in our Universities much more dangerous and more insidious than politicians. This election may in part be the natural outcome of extensive exposure to these ideologies.....

Excerpt: The most discouraging part of the sad state of media affairs is that there's scant sign it will ever get better. All that writhing around together down in the tank has only reinforced the high opinion the correspondents and commentators have of themselves. They imagine they're responsible for electing a president - and maybe they are - and they can't wait to keep on doing it. Harold Evans Newspapers, even those "too big to fail," have come on parlous times. The daily newspaper not so long ago was the arbiter of the manners and even the morals of its community, determining community's view of itself, its personality and its character. Now all that is mostly gone, and most of the editors and publishers think the way to survival is to give the readers more of what ails them. Crusty old city editors who relished making the lives of young reporters miserable in pursuit of teaching them how to be thorough and fair - "Son, nobody cares about what you think about anything, just tell me what happened" - are mostly disappearing. That stuff in the tank is poison. Wesley Pruden is editor emeritus of The Washington Times. washingtontimes.com
