But CRC freely admitted that its definitions were of necessity somewhat subjective because that's the nature of social science research. Notwithstanding your weird admission above ("I don't have a problem with CRC's criteria..." Then why go on and on about it?) you continue droning on about subjectivity. Should there have been no study at all? Would that have made you happy? And if there had been an in-depth explanation of how each organization was rated right or left wouldn't that have run on for extra tens of thousands of words, at a minimum? Would you have been satisfied if they had written a massive tome on the subject? Would you have read it? No, you wouldn't have because you are determined to find fault with CRC's conclusions because they undermine your faulty worldview, to wit, that conservative groups and think tanks etc. are corporate lackeys. You keep finding fault even after Dr. Hogberg mopped up the floor with you and your pathetic little blog posts. You have lost the argument. It's time to end the sophistry.
