As a side note to the Rational's post on the dangers of consensus, it should be noted that the media is in many ways responsible to expose all sides of the argument, but rarely does.
For many years, the BBC has been a bastion of one-sided reporting, and a former journalist there tells his story.
*The Rational's Edit*
On the same note: The Public Broadcasting Service...completely free and balanced? I watched the documentary mentioned in the article and, though it could be relatively shocking in content, it is something that needs to be shown. Make an effort to check it out.
On the liberal consensus in institutions of higher learning: an article in the Investor's Business Daily.
And to counter, an article on the free-market consensus in the field of economics. Which, according to my former econ professors, is a very real issue.
