As we all remember, the media completely freaked out after the Supreme Court decided Citizens United in favor of free speech. Taking aim primarily at the right-leaning Koch Brothers, the media posed as defenders of democracy against the corrupting influence of outside money in politics. As usual, the facts prove that the media are big fat liars.
Although legions of left-wing corporations like NBC News, Politico, MSNBC, CNN, CBS News, ABC News, The Washington Post, LA Times, NPR, PBS, Univision, Comedy Central, MTV, HBO, and ESPN spend billions of dollars pushing a political agenda 24/7, the left-wing media want a monopoly on free speech. The media believe only left-wing media corporations should be allowed to spend unlimited sums of corporate money to advance a political agenda.
This means, of course, that the Koch brothers must be relentlessly Alinskyd by the media into Public Enemy Number One into the very symbol of everything that is wrong with outside money in politics.
How big of a lie is this attack?

Only billionaires like Soros, Buffett and Gates are worthy of having money.
3 lefties collectively worth 172 BILLION.
They should love the Koch Bros
pro-illegal and pro-gay marriage (they supported $$$ the case that went to SCOTUS)
Last I saw the Koch brothers were about halfway down a list of Top 100 Donors. Most at the top were uber-Libs.
Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
