DEALERGATE: STATISTICAL COINCIDENCE OR POLITICAL BIAS? (IMPORTANT UPDATE BELOW)
wow, a 'random' sample by fox and suddenly it's a non story?
How random was the sample?Maybe you should, like, you know, READ THE DAMN ARTICLE.
Fifty dealers who were closed down and 50 who stayed open is a statistically significant enough sample - especially since they were chosen at random - to all but close the case for anyone with a rational bone in their body.
If you believe elephants can fly, then sure - there's still a possibility that Chrysler deliberately chose dealers to close who were Republicans in order to curry favor with the new federal bosses. But since there is no evidence that the White House task force had input into the decision making process and that there is no statistical difference between GOP and Democratic donors being targeted, all but the most hard core believers will look at that evidence and be satisfied.If the arguments are too sophisticated for you, I suggest you refrain from commenting.
