I hope the former members of ACORN are enjoying a celebratory drink right now.

      especially no sympathy for the video editor. If there was anyone in that organization who knows the scope of their lies, it’s the video editor. That person took raw video and intentionally filtered it into misleading lies. Fuck that person in particular.

        Ok fair enough

        But what about the audio editor? The only thing she or he did was mix some clutter out, cut and paste some partial sentences to *checks notes * clarify the message and maybe add some funky intro music

          Stop this. You know it’s silly to defend these people and that anyone with any morality is breathing a sigh of relief they no longer have to be part of this scummy org.

            Naah, it’s an interesting exercise. I’ve thought more about it and if I feel any sympathy for anyone in the org, it’s for any service workers such as janitorial staff that are out of a job. So I guess I have some sympathy after all. Then again, that was probably outsourced anyway.

              Sympathy for your fellow worker is a good thing. I just don’t really “get” why anyone would willingly work for a place like this and figure they will be fine if they were any good to begin with
