Is it any surprise that Democrat Professors as college outnumber Republican Professors 12 to 1 ?

Gee. a shocker!!

https://www.nas.org/articles/homogenous_political_affiliations_of_elite_liberal

In this article I offer new evidence about something readers of Academic Questions already know: The political registration of full-time, Ph.D.-holding professors in top-tier liberal arts colleges is overwhelmingly Democratic. Indeed, faculty political affiliations at 39 percent of the colleges in my sample are Republican free—having zero Republicans. The political registration in most of the remaining 61 percent, with a few important exceptions, is slightly more than zero percent but nevertheless absurdly skewed against Republican affiliation and in favor of Democratic affiliation. Thus, 78.2 percent of the academic departments in my sample have either zero Republicans, or so few as to make no difference.

My sample of 8,688 tenure track, Ph.D.–holding professors from fifty-one of the sixty-six top ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S. News 2017 report consists of 5,197, or 59.8 percent, who are registered either Republican or Democrat. The mean Democratic-to-Republican ratio (D:R) across the sample is 10.4:1, but because of an anomaly in the definition of what constitutes a liberal arts college in the U.S. News survey, I include two military colleges, West Point and Annapolis.1 If these are excluded, the D:R ratio is a whopping 12.7:1.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, talk about it.

Conservatives are about getting things done, liberals are about theory and spreading the wealth. One of the many bold lines that separate us in the political arena. (as with everything in life, there are exceptions to the general rule)

Throw in other stuff like teachers' unions are all democrats because the democrats protect their jobs, easy to acquire student loans are another (failing) democratic policy driving up the cost of education at astronomical rates, and of course taking from one demographic and giving to another is something liberal educators absolutely adore, so there are many reasons educators have liberal bias.

any ratio for media???

I would say internet media is probably the closest, and if I was to guess I would say Democrats are 1.5 to 1 vs Republicans

TV/Radio and Print Media I would say its somewhere around 8 to 1 in favor of Democrats

The last poll of DC correspondents had the media at 90% democrats. But that poll was a long time ago and they'll never participate in another such poll.

More recently there was a study done looking at political donations by media members. That too had the Democratic advantage around 90%

Only African Americans are a more loyal demographic for any party
