I missed the show from which the "In 99 percent of the cases ..." quote originated. Subsequently, Michael talked as if the statement was "in some cases" as opposed to the implied almost all. If the source of the statement is Media Matters, then I completely discount it. If it was hyperbolie after making the initial statement that autism is over diagnosed, then it is a context fault. It is going to take a lot more than a National Review article to make me side with Media Matters, knowing their M.O.

Unfortunately, Michael Savage WAS NOT misquoted on this one. His entire transcript can be heard here :

He DID say that in "In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is."
The problem is he exagerates and thus hurt a lot of parents whose kids are REALLY autistic ( yes, and that includes parents who are conservatives as in the author of the article above ).
Media Matters might be prone to exagerate themselves, but on this matter, Michael Savage is clearly wrong.

The difficulty is "Media Matters". Savage might have said something, but guarantee "Media Matters" spins it out of control ~
Now, could they suck in National Review? Sure they could. Their internal cadre of influential but bigotted sots did a job on Miss Meiers and thereby deprived us of an opportunity to convince Ruthy Ginsburg to retire. We would have still had Alito, but we'd also been rid of the vampire lady from Hell.
Ergo, if "Media Matters" tells a lie and National Review swears to it, that's two good reasons to ignore it.

David Brock, the gay smear merchant that heads Media Matters founded by Hillary funded by Soros certainly cares for the 'children'.
