Rational Thinking From The Hoover Institution

Thomas Sowell shows us how to be a conservative intellectual, in a column titled "The Joseph Gobbels Award:

Any number of journalists would rate an "honorable mention" in this year's contest -- or perhaps "dishonorable mention" might be more appropriate. ABC reporter Carol Simpson was one of many who have said that they went into journalism in hopes of making this a better world. That's what Joseph Goebbels thought he was doing. His idea of a better world was undoubtedly very different from Ms. Simpson's but both saw journalism as a vehicle for achieving their political goals.

Interesting.

Of course, Sowell advocates selling the body parts of the poor to make this a better world. See where I'm going here?
