Summary:

The exchange started when MalignD, very courteously, addressed the points
brought up in the Weisbrot article. Doug flatly refused to discuss the
opinions presented in the article, smugly directed MalignD to take his
questions offlist to the author of the article, and then in almost the same
breath said that he only posts the articles to stimulate discussion. Then he
turned around and accused MalignD of choosing not to engage with the
opinions, taking the opportunity to make personal slurs and give a
condescending, grade school lecture on media bias.

A classic demonstration of the "Millison Method", and of why reasonable
discussion is nigh impossible in this forum because of him. Good job.
