I never have, and my professors think that my essays have been first rate.

I attend a public California college.

of course the liberals here will claim that this is impossible.

It's fun to watch(metaphorically) a liberal head explode.

Good for them! Fox is nothing but right wing propaganda with no credibility what so ever.

I always tell my students that they can't cite Wikipedia.

Are they allowed to cite CNN, NBC, ABC ot CBS? I won't mention MSNBC since it's not a news channel.

MSNBC is nothing but left wing propaganda with no credibility whatsoever.

MSNBC is not a news channel, it's 100% political commentary. Fox is a mix of news and political commentary .

I agree.

Seems like she's missing out on a good teaching opportunity here.

Let her students use whatever source they want (Fox, MSNBC), THEN, make them double check their 'facts' to see if they stand up.

Then, when they graduate they'd, hopefully, have a better grasp of what good source is than most who post here

What does that have to do with allowing and protecting the diversity of opinion and viewpoints?

Even opinions you don't agree with.

I have a feeling American Progressives would like to tinker with the First Ammendment once they finish their work on the Second Ammendment.

After all, do you think America's Founding Fathers took into account Fox News when they authored the First Ammendment?

LOL...what an idiot.

Fox has nothing to do with news, so the professor is a lot smarter than you are.
