To Media Matters, anyone who disagrees with them is “right-wing” and obviously peddling a “conspiracy theory.” Really, Media Matters? There isn’t room for an honest intellectual disagreement? In your worldview, de Rugy, who received a PhD in Economics from the Sorbonne, is just some right-wing partisan hack simply because you disagree with her conclusion? Nate Silver, on whose critique of de Rugy’s study you hang your entire study, certainly doesn’t agree with you.
Media Matters must have missed the very civil debate between de Rugy and Silver. (They responded to each other throughout the day.)
