Heather McGhee: There’s a ‘Distortion’ of the ‘Liberal Outrage’ on College Campuses By Fox News, Breitbart

‘If you look at right-wing media, a narrative has really taken root’

RUSH EXCERPT:
McGHEE: "Well, I think you really have to sort of follow the thread of this narrative. You know, Republican strategists began to really recognize how much more highly-educated folks were trending towards being more liberal. And we can talk about why that might be. I mean, Republicans would say it’s a nefarious liberal bias on campus. Others might say that it’s actually the more that you study America’s history and the world you understand how much we’ve fallen short on values of justice and equality. And you want to tend to work more veraciously towards those goals. But if you look at right-wing media, a narrative has really taken root. It’s the like liberal outrage on campus of the day. And that’s where that’s coming from. There’s been a real spotlight, a distortion I think of the news of what is coming out of college campuses that it’s just very clear you start to see it pop up on Breitbart, you start to see it pop up on Fox News. And then it moves into the Republican voter."
