<p>You claim to acknowledge your biases and then in the same breath go on to attack Forbes as if this isn’t an example of you displaying your bias. For the vast majority of schools rated well by U.S. News Forbes simply confirmed what U.S. News concluded. Are you contending this was sheer coincidence? If Forbes as you rant is “worthless”, “lame” and a “joke” this wouldn’t happen. Does it have a particular agenda against Wash U. and a couple other schools? (BTW I am sure you are right that there are fans of the few other schools who were downgraded by Forbes who share your motivations and who make the same charges against Forbes.) I can again go over U.S. News shortcomings and you can again trash Forbes with your broadsides, and to some extent we will both be right. However it is clear that unless and until Forbes gives you the reassurance that you seem to need concerning the worthiness of Wash U, you will continue to trash Forbes, while denying that it has anything to do with your particular needs or biases.</p>
