Reply #3: It inspired me to visit Mystery Pollster,

[Helga Scow Stern]

just to confirm that he seems even more "fair and balanced" than before. He has weighed in on the Huffington Blog debate--dissed Lampley, given props to his detractor as "having kept up with the true debate," impuned DU, and all in all shown his true colors (or employer) once again. And he hides it all behind some pretense of being correct on some esoteric, distracting statistical arguments,

As if to seduce people who want to appear intelligent and nuanced and cool (they read Mystery Pollster!)by serving them a platter of shit and saying, "Oh no, scientifically, this is not feces! Don't be ridiculous. This is not shit! It could be, but it's clearly not because of this obscure equation! People at DU are vehement that it smells like shit, attracts flies like shit, tastes like shit, but we know how partisan they are in their vehemence against not being fed shit!"

"Intelligent people know it is not shit and will eat it, despite what those crazy, rabid people say at DU!"

His main responders now seem to be out and out freepers, so his site is certainly serving its purpose well. It's all stinking to high heaven. I'll bet even God is holding her nose by now.
