The Kochs do not wish to "dismantle government". What does that even mean? As an anarchist I can tell you that they do not fall in my camp and frequently use large governing bodies to their advantage. What about "old-fashioned New Deal liberal" and "fire-breathing right-wingers" could possibly be more oversimplified? Not only are we comparing apples to oranges (liberal to right-wing; "liberal" and "left" are independent tokens) but we are calling Kochs fierce right-wingers despite many of their beliefs and actions standing in stark contrast against right-wing politics. Both parties have good and bad characteristics, both have characteristics that do not square snuggly into either of the round holes presented. That is deceitful, lazy journalism. The journalist wanted to set up a dramatic angle which showed two "completely incompatible" people coming into agreement about something which their presented oversimplified world views should not allow. By choosing drama and oversimplification in lieu of accurate reporting, the journalist demonstrates that they are not qualified to have the kind of mature political dialogue one would assume The Boston Globe would like to display.
