So you see no difference between talk radio and academia? I'm sure that comes
as news to university professors.

[Arlo]
I don't see any acknowledgment of a distinction in your post. I'll repeat it,
then comment.

[Platt had said]
As for brainwashing, one only need poll the predominant political orientation
of undergraduates to discover its overwhelming presence in academia.

[Arlo]
The only point I see is about a "predominant political orientation" among a
sample of the population. And, you assume that a tendency towards that MUST be
due to "brainwashing".

Can you articulate why such a tendency in "academia" MUST be due to
"brainwashing", but such a tendency in "listeners of talk-radio" is not?
