Fox pundit: Yes, Krugman's right and I'm wrong, but that's okay because nobody will believe him

So Fox News pundit Erick Erickson and Nobel prize-winning economist Paul Krugman get into a back-and-forth about the price of milk and bread—Erickson says prices are soaring, Krugman points out that Erickson is actually completely wrong and that prices are stable. Confronted with the facts, how does Erickson respond? Like this:

Paul's point is correct, but it is an issue of perception of people versus the reality of his chart.  He can certainly go tell people milk prices haven't gone up, but good luck getting them to believe him.

So, according to Erickson, Krugman is right, and he's wrong, but it doesn't matter, because nobody is going to believe Krugman anyway. In other words, conservatives really don't want the truth. It just doesn't matter to them.
