“If conservatives come to control the White House and both Houses of Congress, there will be very little change in Hollywood, the network evening news, universities, church bureaucracies, the New York Times, or the Washington Post. Institutions that are overwhelmingly left-liberal will continue to misinform the public and distort public discourse.” IfsLittlesChristianHouseLeftChurchReligiousWhiteNew YorkNewsHollywoodInstitutionsUniversityCongressEveningPostsWhite HouseDiscourseBureaucracyNew York TimesPublic Discourse Author:Robert Bork
“The greatest number of drug addicts are to be found in Teheran and in Karachi, not in the West. Not in New York believe it or not.

“College is a safe space where it can be hard to truly fail. The institution is rooting for you because your failure makes them look bad, too. New York City has no such mandate.
