Imagine, not a single left-leaning party got above the 5 pct. threshold! Well, I guess you are right that idnes is a center-right website, but despite that the bias is huge!

I always thought "MF Dnes" newspaper and its online version "idnes.cz" being right wing. Then it would be no surprise. Although, it is true that in last years the text part areas compared to the image areas lose and the newspaper approaches the "median" reader alias voter. Then it looks slightly biased anyway. But who reads idnes.cz? V Hi.

]]> Comment on Universities Ranking by Tomas Hozik http://www.tomashozik.com/?p=738&cpage=1#comment-2931 Tomas Hozik Mon, 29 Mar 2010 19:51:53 +0000 http://www.tomashozik.com/?p=738#comment-2931 Agree, it's not perfect. In general all rankings are biased toward big institutions (the bigger school is, the more money they can contribute to research, promotion etc.). I think there is a heavy correlation between the reputation and the index (the more reputable university is the more often it is mentioned, and presumably linked, on the internet). And it should also in to some extent be correlated with the research quality (again, if there is some research breakthrough, online newspapers will write about it and post links to the uni web page, etc.). I agree it's not perfect, but I'd say it's a good and mainly transparent alternative measure to other rankings (Times, Shanghai...) Agree, it’s not perfect.

For me, this ranking looks more like a publicity element dependent on the university size heavily. But maybe I am (just) the (only) ignorant not browsing the top universities websites. Therefore, it is difficult for me to imagine how to link it with the quality. V Good idea, maybe. For me, this ranking looks more like a publicity element dependent on the university size heavily.

Unless you are highly specialized investors or super smart and super lucky, like Buffet, I would stick with Index strategy... It's simple, cheap, and by definition performs on par with an average investor... This is my own view though... To be honest, I’m not a big fan of “advanced tools”.
