Those places are great for big corporations or filthy rich people. But it sucks for the poor, middle class, and small businesses

OneNewsNow is part of the American Family News Network (part of the American Family Association), under Wildmon. They are very conservative on social & religious issues, promote fundamentalist Christian positions, & are likely opposed, on theological & ideological grounds, to any kind of higher education. The GOP as currently construed also sees education as leading to non-Republican political identification; which is probably the main reason there are relatively few college faculty among the GOP.

I'm a conservative, but I am thinking this has to do with liberals being more educated in general.

Besides, part of the reason could be the fact that most people with Post Graduate degrees lean left/vote Democrat. Until there are more Republicans going on to post graduate degrees, there is bound to be a discrepancy. This isn't the fault of the universities or the system.

Never trust a new organization with a declared slant on what they report.

One News Now says it's "News from a Christian Perspective". That says right off the bat that their news is not going to be objective. It will be servicing an agenda.

Why do you say the tikes are being turned into communists? Because communists are godless heathens?

Communists aren't liberals. They are communists. Lots of liberals are just as Christian as you are. Lots of conservatives are not at all religious. And lots of people who are very religious aren't Christians.

Most professors do not care about politics at all.
I have never heard any of mine say they support either.

Nowadays in STEM departments most professors are immigrants. Their stance cannot be measured in a conventional D vs R way either.
