re: #6 reine.de.tout

I believe at least some of us here had come to the conclusion that ACORN suffered serious management problems rather than organization-wide approval of illegal activities.

However - if ACORN commissioned the study, how can it be called independent? Serious question, I’m not trying to be an ass …

Because they commissioned it with an independent reviewer? I don’t think the entity commissioning a study, poll or other data review affects the independence, it’s the entity who is performing the study, poll or data review.

Basically if the reviewer is clean then then the review should be clean.
