“Dark Money” in the Climate Debate: Questions for the Record (full series)DISCLOSE Act | “Dark Money” Links“Cherry-Picked” DataQuestion #3: “Cherry-Picked” DataAfter the hearing, a Democratic witness took part in an interview, which was published in The Guardian. She specifically said that she “suspected the evidence that Democrats take more dark money than Republicans may be based on cherry-picked data.” She then said without citing any evidence, “Cherry-picking is a tactic we know climate deniers and skeptics have used for decades.” Was the data that you used cherry-picked in any way? Does this witness have any relationship with the liberal dark money network, other than what she already admitted to during the hearing? Note that for Prof. Oreskes and the Guardian “reporter” to be correct that I “cherry-picked” my data, the same cherry-picking must have been committed by the New York Times, CNN, and OpenSecrets.
