The overwhelming majority of people working in the “news media” are Democrats. They genuinely believe that ACORN is a “good” organization, and that opposition to the Obama Administration is “racist”.
ACORN is a “good”, actually, just a “desirous” organization because they help to accomplish the ENDS that the left wants to accomplish, they really don’t care about the means.
According to Hayek, these type of unscrupulous people are inevitably used to implement a collectivist system, because it takes a “whip” to implement such a system, and those unwilling to use that whip will be quickly replaced by those who will.
