[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Except they were chosen by an objective journalist[/b] (from The NY Times), who put them in that category because he thought they WERE special.

That origin is objective fact.

But some loser on here has made it his hobby to claim that moniker is just a marketing gimmick.[/quote]

And?  What makes that journalist's opinion, objective or not, special?  Isn't everyone's opinion on colleges objective?  Why should anyone care what one person's opinion is?

I consider the opinions of the former education editor of the NYT to be more worthwhile than opinions of random people on the internet.[/quote]

Well you finally got it!  We are talking about someone’s opinion, not objective fact (all rankings are subjective, not just CTCL).[/quote]

DP. You should read more carefully. The "objective fact" the PP mentioned was describing the origins of the CTCL list. No one is saying that it's a "fact" that these colleges are "special." But it is a fact that a journalist with expertise in the field compiled the list.[/quote]

Maybe take your own advice, said poster also referred to author as “objective journalist.”[/quote]
