    I like how you think just providing those search results prove something is a “well-known fact” rather than just something people believe.

    Is the problem that you don’t understand the concept of evidence?

      The fact is so well-known that a simple Google search gives multiples articles confirming it. You suggested this criteria yourself. 🤔

        a simple Google search gives multiples articles confirming it.

        Then you can easily pick one and show me the evidence.

        Remember, this is your claim:

        It’s a well known fact that western universities have a left-leaning bias. And by extension, a pro-Hamas and/or pro-Palestine bias.

        So, pick the site which shows evidence for this claim. Quote the evidence.

        You haven’t been able to do so thus far.

        Also, it is a lie that I suggested a Google search was my criterion. Not one thing I said even implies it.

          It’s a well-known fact that the Earth is round and I can show you evidence with about two seconds of Googling.

          You established that a well-known fact like the Earth being round is easy to prove in mere seconds by Googling. I did exactly what you suggested and the search results are plentiful with links in the first page confirming that there’s a left-leaning bias in USA universities. In the suggested images they even list survey results showing most students lean left.

            Yes. With two seconds of Googling, I can show you evidence.

            Such as this:

            A planet is round because of gravity. A planet’s gravity pulls equally from all sides. Gravity pulls from the center to the edges like the spokes of a bicycle wheel. This makes the overall shape of a planet a sphere, which is a three-dimensional circle.

            https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/planets-round/en/

            You have shown me no evidence whatsoever. At this point, it’s clear it was just a lie.
