Audience measurement quirks?

This guy is confusing a secular trend in network TV audience metrics with a one-month seasonal blip in measurement of Internet growth. Actually, it's inconceivable that Media Metrix's April numbers are accurate in terms of say, the top 10 Web sites. The numbers generally reflect declines. Now, these sites may not have grown by leaps and bounds in a particular measurement period, but who's kidding whom? Of course they all grew. They just weren't measured accurately in either month.

Thus, junk science begets junk journalism...
