Megan McCardle And The Koch Organization

This article is about a journalist who serves the interests of the Koch organization.  The Koch brothers fund a number of organizations and publications which promote their interests.  This article describes some of the Koch funded organizations and their inter-relationships.  It provides a good glimpse into how the Koch brothers influence public opinion.  The Tea Party is funded, and organized, by the Koch controlled Freedom Works organization.  The Cato Institute and the Mercatus Center, which operates within George Mason University,  are two of the "think tanks" funded by the Koch brothers.  The University of Florida recently received a grant from the Koch brothers.  In return, the university agreed to let the Koch brothers have a role in the hiring of faculty for its Economics Department. Those, like Megan McCardle, who denies any relationship with the Koch brothers, serve the interests of the Koch brothers by operating as objective journalists or academics.  She is a frequent guest on TV news shows, and her articles are published by a number of respected publications like The Economist.
