Not surprising at all to hear that Matt Stoller got the economics of an antitrust issue wrong. I appreciate the attention he brings to the topic and his diligence in digging up stories but his own analysis is often just totally wrong. I don’t think he’s worth taking seriously as an analyst. Maybe as a reporter at best.

I mean he didn't. The article is legitimately straw-manning. All of his claims are not present in the source article.

It's a disgusting, sleazy piece of journalism.

So no, you didn't hear he got it wrong. You were lied to by the author.

I have a PhD in economics with a specialization in antitrust policy.

Fact:

“Matt stoller gets big, important issues wrong in antitrust all the time and his analysis shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
