So what. Can you prove that the numbers are wrong just because you don't
like the messenger?

Can you say bias? Sure you can. I take it that you wouldn't beleive
anything that didn't come from a liberal. What makes you think their
numbers aren't as slanted to the left, and you seem to think these are
to the right? What makes your bias, more  legitimate than theirs?
