Look At All Them Koch Commercials On TV - Buying Press Silence - Sickening

Ever wonder why the Koch Brothers advertise on TV? It's not to get people to buy their products. It is for their "image" you might think.

Wrong.

They are bribing the news networks to not investigate what they get for the money they bribe politicians with. $900 million handed out for political favors. Plus their 100 astroturf organizations spewing lies 24/7. "Think Tanks" garbage.

Welcome to Amerrikka.

Campaign contributions are legal bribes, and no one bribes more politicians with more money than the Koch polluting bastards. They just don't want the press to say anything while their pay to play poisons our families, and our planet. They are one of the world's leading polluters, and you never would know it.

Why should NPR APR PBS etc. be for the people. Not even the taxpayers fund it, except to a small degree. Instead, taxpayers fund the pollution cleanups, the decimated retirement funds, the owner enriching stadiums, and an increasingly draconian police force that tries to keep the poor from reaching the disparity enhanced rich and their holdings.
