IT’S LOTT-TASTIC!….I just love me some righteous John Lott bashing, and Nate Silver delivers with the latest example of Lott’s customary careful use of primary sources in an op-ed over at Fox News. It’s true that his mistake is a small one in the grand scheme of things, but two items make this latest Lott affair especially awesome:
-
The op-ed in question is co-authored by Ryan S. Lott. You may recall him as the “ry” in Mary Rosh. Awesome!
-
In comments to Nate’s post, Lott says both he and Fox have corrected the error. But it’s a stealth correction: you’d never know the op-ed had been changed unless you clicked over to Lott’s personal website where he mentions it. Awesome!
Good times. Brings back memories, this does.
