Re: We've been over this. At least three or four times.
You set up the "conspiracy" strawman, and I point out to you, tiredly, that the word "conspiracy" means something, and that it doesn't require a "conspiracy" to generate a desired consensus view at certain organizations.
How long do you think I would last in a liberal arts university faculty? As a professional writer at the AP? A government-funded science facility? Or anyplace else where only certain views are considered "mainstream?" What would my chances for advancement be given a choice between me and someone of equal skills who has the "correct" views?
