    I don't really follow. What about their "about" page suggests this?

"Professors moved left since 1990s, the rest of the country did not"

"Why are liberals so condescending?"

"It may be harder than we thought, but political diversity will (still) improve

social psychological science"

"Passing on the Right: Conservative Professors in the Progressive University"

"Liberal privilege in academia"

Did you miss all of those?

    This comment is in two parts. The first presents some implications of Inbar and Lammers’ (2012, this issue) findings by making salient many of the advantages and privileges enjoyed by scientists when they extol the moral and intellectual superiority of liberals, liberal beliefs, liberal attitudes, and liberal policy preferences over conservatives, conservative beliefs, conservative attitudes, and conservative policy preferences. The second part of this comment refutes (or, at least, vigorously contests) some of the most common arguments that have attempted to defend social psychology from charges of unscientific and distorting liberal biases.
