This is complete hogwash. You hire a Phd because they have presumably put years of research, studying, and reading into their craft. You hire them because they come from a reputable institution or institutions. You review their dissertation, look at what they've published, how
much they've published and where, etc.
You've heard the saying "publish or perish," right? Not only do professors share their biased opinions every day, but this is what they are
hired to do. When you hire a financial consultant, you don't stop to question his philosophy on the market. You trust his record, his experience, and his background. Same thing.

I would not say that liberals tend to be drawn to academia any more than others.

Of course you wouldn't, because you're not a liberal, and you consider yourself an academic. But to my knowledge you haven't stepped foot in a college classroom, am I correct? If liberals aren't drawn to academia, why is everyone bitching about liberalism on campus....?
