#1 Fox News complains about propaganda in colleges

I wasn't sure whether this belonged in N&P, so I just put it here. Please move if it is more appropriate over there.

Ironic, I know. Don't you just love how they claim that "diversity of opinion" is needed to counter the un-American idea of support for gay marriage and such like? Apparently, according to them, diversity of opinion is not the personal liberty to live your life the way you want and to permit others to do so, but the right to prohibit others from living a lifestyle which offends you.
And note how they complain about the lack of civics knowledge among college graduates but don't cite the number of ignoramuses among non-graduates nor mention that civics is not usually part of the college curriculum in most cases?
None of this is very surprising, of course. But with this kind of propaganda going on on Fox, what do we have to oppose it?
