"In fact, the actual data shows that newspapers almost always turn out to be very well matched in political slant to their readers. (As should be obvious, since if they weren't, they'd lose readers even faster than they now do.)"
Hmmmm. And yet most large news papers are failing. Would this perhaps be some indication that *maybe* a certain type of political slant is not being represented well? I believe it was the philosopher-king Ernie Anastos that said "Keep f***ing that chicken".
"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a mathematician] than a white male who hasn't lived that life." You know what is the best quality of a mathematician? Empathy.
