hi,
  I think the article is very close to being "slanderous or libelous  material" and advertises their magazine. But, if you go ahead and  unhide the article, please include the following information on it:
  
  This article came from:
  http://www.frontpagemag.com/index.asp
  
  Founded by David Horowitz, "a left-wing turned right-wing activist,"  according to the Columbia Journalism Review.  Horowitz has been  campaining for some time against ideological bias in universities, and  more specificially, against journalism and law schools.  He  launched a campaign called "Academic Freedom" advocating for colleges  to actively hire more conservative faculty members. Something much like  affirmative action for conservative faculty.
  
  thanks!

I'm going to side with Jamie on this one. It doesn't fall under our hiding
policy:

We have consensed on hiding the following types of posts:

1. Hate posts; posts that explicitly express sexism, racism, homophobia, or
other forms of prejudice.
2. Threats of Violence.
3. Slanderous or libelous material.
4. Personal attacks or insults.
5. Advertising.
6. Pornography.
7. Duplicates or extremely similar posts.
8. Disruptive or provocative material clearly intended to impede
constructive activity on the site.
9. Misinformation. 

therefore we need to expose it's bias, refute any factual distortions and
move on, with the fewer words the better I think.

-Jon
