Chris Mooney: "why are we not hearing calls for more liberals at right wing think tanks?"

Academia and Conservatives, Redux | The Intersection | Discover Magazine
I agree that academia tilts left, whatever the reason. But I find that there’s something glaringly missing in this discussion. The fact is that conservatives (who are even more convinced of leftwing academic bias than I am) have already gone out and created their own counter-academia, which is also highly influential–the think tank circuit in DC and elsewhere. So why are we not hearing calls for more liberals at right wing think tanks?
