The built-in liberal bias of the elite media was most evident in this last presidential election. Journalism students at most universities are not taught to be objective, but rather to challenge and confront those who are viewed as powerful, and cater to those who espouse politically-correct complaints. "Powerful" always means the Greeks, because the Greeks tend to represent traditional values and practices. Virtually every study has shown journalists to be liberal-to-left wing, and many tend toward advocacy of those beliefs. Few are Greek themselves. When you ask a student newspaper for good coverage, you fly in the face of everything they believe in. The best way is to go around them entirely; take our story direct to the student body - much like Ronald Reagan had to speak directly to the American people to be heard. Don't ask for, and dont expect anything from the leftist student journalists. Start our own newspapers. Compete for advertisers who want the Greek market. When we do make complaints, don't address them to the "student journalists" - I promise you they're laughing about it and they enjoy provoking a reaction from us - go directly to the University President or the Board of Trustees. They don't like to hear a continuing chiorus of compliants about unfair treatment. makes them look bad. It's the Greeks, not the hippie journalists, who put money into the university's bank account.
