The most ridiculous university ranking

When they say they feel they are hurt / offended, do they know this is a typical easy thing for women to do in the society, not men?

I don't know, maybe everything is sexist. Maybe we should expect a society where men and women cry equally.

Our university forces us to change the password every 150 days. It is such a pain in the s, because there are too many apps on too many devices need to update the password. I asked the IT department, can you guys consider to stop this and find an alternative security policy? The answer is no, because this security policy is in the state law.

So you lack basic reading skills. I quote "not to get the opportunity at all due to systemic discrimination in hiring", you read "systemic discrimination in hiring". Apparently, you lost "not to get the opportunity at all" and "due to". Don't you see that?

It's funny, if you really believe yourself, how could you ask the final question? How can a minimum wage increase in one rich neighborhood be compared to a poor neighborhood? How about different industry? How about different businesses? The assumption of your question is a deep believe of central planning and numeric abstraction of the society, which is an ideology. So stop pretending you are free of ideology.

In that case, why would the person choose to do skateboarding? Also, does the individual has any family / friend / church support? If you have no family, no friend, not involved in any community, why do you risk yourself for fun? Because "the society" have to pay for your stupidity?

Are you trying to tell me "western culture" or "western civilization" is a fake concept? If you don't see Ireland and Italian belongs to one group, and Mexico belongs to another, I don't see how we can communicate. Our worldview is just too different.

When I said "replacing", I meant the proportion, i.e. majority/ minority change, as the article suggested.

I think you understated the similarities between Americans and Irishs / Italians, and understated the differences between Americans and Hispanics / Muslims. Not sure whether you did this intentionally, but it is so obvious that Americans / Irishs / Italians are part of western culture, they have differences, but they belong to one big group. On the other hand, Southern American / Middle East belong to non-western culture. The latter is even worse, it is anti-western culture. When you look at the countries, US / UK / EU countries are similar, but Southern America countries are different from US / UK / EU countries, and Middle East countries are extremely different. Did you intentionally blind yourself?

Also, we lived in a different time with two important changes: 1. welfare state. 2. far-left ideology (multiculturalism, post-modernism, etc.) becomes norm

I don't know what you want to say here. Are you trying to argue that NYT and WP is more trustworthy than Fox? How is this related to my post?

Are you suggesting because Google News developers believe NYT and WP is more trustworthy than Fox, like you do, so they always automatically pick NYT over WP? And this is considered as unbiased?

Or, do you mean they have a super AI to determine which news report is close to reality on each single case? So this is considered as unbiased?

Your premise is that Google News only include news, which is totally wrong. Google News includes lots of comments. For example, Huffington post appears a lot in Google News.

Even from their example, you can see the political bias clearly in the first pic. I believe that they believe themselves have an unbiased algorithm which creates this result, which they believe is unbiased.

However, it is clear to me, their result is definitely biased. I do not believe an unbiased algorithm will generate a top list of covering on the supreme court decision on the travel ban only includes reports from NYT, WP, The Atlantic, Chicago Tribune (the only right), CNN. I also do not believe an unbiased algorithm will generate a list of other top stories from only Politico, NPR, WP. So In a list of nine titles, only one right media (Chicago Tribune) got a shot, but not Fox News or WSJ. Not even CBS, ABC which are kind of centrist.

Of course, an argument would be that most of the media is left. But don't forget, the left / right split among the American voters is not that extreme. If you generate a list of new reports, which one is more unbiased: A) represent the perspective of journalists (90% left), B) represent the perspective of voters (60% left)?

My experience with Google News is that, if you do not manually customize new feed, you will get mostly from NYT and WP, almost never FN or WSJ. You will also get a lot far / crazy left stuff from Huffington post, Daily Beast, Mother Jones, but you will never get national review, not to mention breitbart.
