It is interesting that absolutely no attention is paid to liberal politicians appointing liberal scientists. In the strange, Mobeius world of the Left, where the political spectrum only has a center and a right side, such views are considered "normal," and a Democratic administration appointing scientists sympathetic to Leftist views would not even get a second glance. As another example, the fact that only about six percent of media people surveyed consider themselves conservative is not thought unusual by the media people themselves. You see, not being conservative is the "norm" to them. This is why if you ask a media person if he has a liberal bias, he would honestly not know what you were talking about, although every single view of his was right out of the liberal playbook.
