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.”

You are welcome to cite that.
But he doesn't get them wrong. Your opinion on this is like a doctor saying the COVID vaccines don't work.
Sure you _might_ be a doctor, but your position is objectively deficient on this topic.
ALSO WEIRDLY, it's noticeable you didn't have anything to say about the fact that he's strawmanning.
You don't need a hyper focus in any field to see that's exactly what the author did. Or the fact that you don't seem to care about it.
