Well, if Fox & Friends were pushing the line that universities are
filled with "tenured radicals" who hate America and such, then the
fact that this particular "fact" was being purveyed by a visiting
lecturer at UW-Madison rather than a beloved senior professor there
might be a relevant counterbalancing point (if, as Joe noted,
off-topic).
