Because the social sciences are comprised largely of liberals; therefore, (1) they don't see their biases as biases; and (2) they support suppressing certain lines of inquiry because they believe it's for the greater good.

They do, but there aren't that many conservatives in academia or the media. Per capita effectiveness is likely similar but it's a numbers game they are losing.
