"McCarthy’s supporters in the 1950s claimed that his lies were necessary for keeping Republicans in power: the ends justified the means. Neither journalists nor politicians could figure out how to counter McCarthy’s tactics. It was the American people who finally destroyed his career, turning against him when they realized he was hurting decent people and lying to them to gain power."

Exactly. That’s why it’s hard to understand how people whose job is to deal with people can miss something so obvious.
Many politicians could benefit from reading more of Christian Stöcker’s work on disinformation.
