 "What would you call any statement coming out of “our” Universities? All polls taken indicate the faculties vote 90%+ democrat, what else would you call them? I can think of several other adjectives. However, there are other reasons. I once wrote to Morningside about the lack of books on Thomas and their response was “we only print what sells.”"

What else would I call them? Scholars, professionals, historians. I fail to see how their voting patterns, whether Democratic or Republican, translate in any way to amount or quality of scholarship available about George Thomas.

Morningside is a different bag. They're a private entity out to make money publishing books. If they don't think a book on Thomas will sell, they aren't going to publish it. There's nothing liberal or conservative about it.
